Children begin to discover the world of music through rhyming, singing, moving, dancing and playing simple percussion instruments.

Parents work as partners with their children and, led by the teacher, contribute to fostering and building a stimulating, exciting and supportive learning environment for the group.

Structure: 8-10 classes of 45 minutes duration per school term

Student Materials: Moving Into Music Songbook

A variety of activities that increase in difficulty and complexity are used to lay musical foundations at this level. Musical skills are developed through speech and singing, movement and dance, listening and playing of percussion instruments. We explore musical concepts, develop creativity through improvisation and build self-esteem providing the cornerstones of the learning process. The joy of being actively involved in creating music will set the child on the path to a lifelong appreciation of music.
