OUR MUSIC PROGRAMS INCLUDE:
MORNING SESSIONS:
Babies | birth - 12 months
Share magical moments singing, cuddling, dancing and playing together, nurturing an extra-special bond. Learn from experienced teachers how to make the most of this critical period in your baby's development as we help you stimulate your baby's brain connections and make your family musical for life! Take home resources included. 45 min sessions.
Tiny Tots | 1 - 2 years
Relish this special time together and lay the foundations for all future learning. Loving adults are a child's best teacher and you'll be jumping for joy laughing and bouncing as you follow the leader, experimenting with musical patterns through games, movement, singing and instruments. Once your little one is up and walking, our teachers add layers of physical and verbal challenges that continues to help them learn in a lively, age-appropriate environment. Take home resources included. 45 min sessions.
Toddlers | 2 - 3 years
This is when we really get toddler brains and bodies syncing! Jump, jiggle, giggle and learn! You'll love seeing your child have fun, move, sing stories and manipulate toys and textures. Our unique, Australian program provides a fantastic foundation for successful participation in dance, daycare and preschool. In a very short time, you'll find you have a mini music teacher showing you what to do at home, as well as lots of great distractions for any �tetchy times' throughout your busy day! Take home resources included. 45 min sessions.
Level 1 | 3 - 4 years
These years are so precious and they go so fast! All our families value spending time enjoying musical interaction with their children which supports learning more complex aural and visual activities for follow-up at home. Growing ever more independent, children in this age group love being challenged but still learn best with the comfort of a caring adult nearby, so forget the gym membership and get a workout for both body and brain as we up-skill bilateral and creative movement together! You'll love how our carefully sequenced activities build your child's inner confidence and self-regulatory behaviour in a nurturing and imaginative environment. 45 min sessions.
Level 2 | 4 - 5 years
(the year before school, drop-off class)Proud pre-schoolers attend these classes without an adult, ready to expand their social skills and musical understanding through more complex listening, singing, dancing and playing activities. Without even noticing how much they've learned, they'll be �reading and writing' music by the end of this year. You'll be amazed at their rate of development over this year. Kinder teachers constantly tell us they can pick our students within days of starting school, as they stand out from the pack, having such a secure foundation in literacy, numeracy and class social skills. At Open Day, you'll see just how much they've learned each term. 45 min sessions.
AFTERNOON SESSIONS:
Level 3 | Kinder or Year 1
Research shows that multi-modal learning through musical games and movement activities is essential for the development of children's coordination and creativity. Playing on glockenspiels gives children excellent ear and eye preparation for keyboard without prematurely putting pressure on separating immature fingers or the need to practice every day. We know they're just getting started at school, so we craft our lessons to balance relaxation with fun movement activities. As �big schoolers' they also get a great sense of achievement very quickly from brief workbook activities reinforcing the children's developing ability to sing what they see (sight read) and write what they hear (melodic & rhythmic dictation). 45 min sessions.
Level 4 | Year 1 or 2
The rubber really hits the road for these students as we build on their known Level 3 concepts, further developing music literacy skills in solfege and rhythm writing, as well as more complex coordination games that build neural pathways for instrument playing. Children apply these skills to playing the recorder, preparatory keyboard and drumming activities. Conducting, creating and performing in parts feature strongly in this level. Our unique sequence develops in-tune singers who are confident to have a go in front of an audience across any setting, including their school classroom and assemblies. 45 min sessions.
Level 5 | Year 2 or 3
These students shoot ahead with sight-reading, musical dictations and arranging parts into accompaniments and ensemble performances becoming second nature to these experienced Kodaly musicians! They are on the alert detecting new intervals and rhythmic elements. Students have internalised phrasing and melodic line and quickly apply their musical knowledge to different instruments by having a term each learning keyboard, violin and drumming. This gives children a taste of playing different instruments before making a commitment to individual study. 60 min sessions.
SONG CREW
Song Crew isn't just another �choir'. We specialise in nurturing young voices by teaching good vocal technique, sight-singing, harmony and performance skills through a program of singing, musical games and stress-free performance opportunities. Whenever students feel ready, they have the opportunity to solo in a safe and supportive environment and also to compere our end of year concert. We teach Kodaly-based music reading, sight-singing and harmony using a varied program of songs in unison and parts from all styles of music. 75 min sessions. BOOK NOW
