We welcome parents and caregivers, creating opportunities for adults to share quality time with their young ones
Baby & Toddler Music Classes
Our preschool music classes for babies and toddlers 1 – 3 years old are very busy sessions with lots of singing, playing and moving.
Each class runs for 45 minutes.
Level 1
For Level 1 children play a variety of sturdy instruments focusing on basic concepts of loud/soft, fast/slow and start/stop.
We include action songs and circle dances, creative movement with streamers, scarves and ribbons.
We use a variety of props including puppets, musical stories, and magnetic board counting games.
Activities are multi-sensory so children's brains are absorbing information through many senses at once. The brain processes all this information simultaneously and grows, in order to handle the information.
Children learn how to drive their bodies, developing coordination, strength and a sense of how their body fits into the space around them. Parents and caregivers work alongside their child, encouraging and enjoying the session with them.
Levels 2 & 3
For Level 2 our sessions include the beginning of hand signs to help develop in-tune singing and for Level 3 children use chime bars for steady beat accompaniment to simple songs and the exploration of high and low sounds.
Kids Music Classes
Our preschool music classes for 4 year olds are action packed and include development of in-tune singing, creative movement, action songs, musical stories and circle dances with chances to be the leader.
Each classes runs for 1 hour and we play large wooden xylophones, chime bars and a large variety of non-melodic percussion instruments.
Part playing is introduced and developed in level 5.
We investigate rhythmic pattern, as a development from steady beat. Pictorial notation leads towards conventional musical notation.
Children are encouraged to participate independently.
