Classes are 45 minutes long
Toddler (2-3 years)
Musical experiences begin to widen as your child emerges into the toddler stage. Now steadier on their feet, and with an ever increasing vocabulary, early musical experiences will include more exploration and discovery, language extension, organised listening and more cooperative musical play with others.
Children will begin the development of in-tune singing, develop a strong sense of beat and distinguish between singing and speaking voice.
Pre-School (3-5 years)
Once children reach the age of three, they are ready for so much more as they are perceptually more alert, have far greater body control and are more able to use, understand and enjoy language. Singing games form a valuable part of our lesson time offering a complete musical experience. The repetition of the song helps children "tune up" and it builds confidence and sense of belonging.
Musical concepts such as tempo, pitch, volume, beat and rhythm are introduced which contribute to listening skills and greater aural discrimination.
