D. Nightingale is a celebrated musician, storyteller, and children’s educator based in Hastings. Over the past several years, she has built a reputation for her warm, interactive sessions — “We explore. We play. We dance. We sing and make music together” — that support early childhood development in language, motor skills, and social interaction.

For Hidden Beach, D. Nightingale will present enchanting storytelling sessions and creative workshops designed especially for children. Using imaginative narratives, live instruments, and playful props, she will guide young participants through music-led stories that encourage curiosity and expressive learning. Her approach blends structured musical activities with space for creativity and fun, making each session a magical experience for children and their families.

As the founder of Nightingale Music Hastings, she regularly hosts classes such as Musical Babies and Music & Messy Play for children aged 0 to 7. Her sessions are known for combining stories, dancing, singing, and free play, allowing children to explore instruments and sound in an inclusive, nurturing environment.

At Hidden Beach’s family zone, children will have the opportunity to join D. Nightingale’s interactive workshops and storytelling sessions — a chance to spark imagination, foster creativity, and make joyful memories to the sound of music.
