Early Childhood Music Classes

4 - 6 years old.

Maestro introduces children to some of the worlds’ great composers and their music, and encourages them to make and play their own simple compositions. 

Using materials provided, children make, decorate and play their own simple instruments as they are introduced to the groups of instruments in an orchestra.

As most children of this age are not developmentally ready to learn music notation, pictorial and graphic notation is used to help them develop a sense of high and low, left to right reading, and to see the melodic shape of short songs.

Your child can attend the class on their own if they are comfortable to do so, however parents/carers are also welcome to stay for the lesson. Musical concepts will continue to be developed through song, movement activities, dance, drama, musical games, chime bar activities and the use of tuned and untuned percussion.
