Why should I choose Moving Into Music?
The length, breadth and depth of our experience coupled with the high qualifications of our teachers sets us apart from other programs. Our classes deliver best teaching practice. They are underpinned by what is most current and relevant theoretically.
We know and understand how children learn. We know how to bring music into their lives. We know that we can give your child the gift of music.
When can I join a class … do I have to wait for the next term?
You can join a class at any time providing we have vacancy. We limit our class size to ten to guarantee your child individual attention.
Is there a trial class?
You can come to visit us for a trial lesson in any of the weeks of our teaching term. You will be charged for a single class.
How much does it cost?
We charge on a term by term basis. If you join us once term has started we calculate the cost on a pro-rata basis for the remaining weeks of the term.
Are there any extra costs?
- For Musical Parenting – we provide notes to accompany our classes.
- At our Beginnings level we offer for sale Preludes – a Child’s Song Booklet – for each semester of the year.
- At the Pre-School level children make their own Song Books
Do I need to stay with my pre-schooler in the class?
Yes. All levels of our pre-schooler programs are designed for shared parent – child participation. We want you with us to share and contribute to the magic of the music group as well as to enhance your child’s musical education.
My husband would like to bring our child. He’s worried it’s only for mothers … would he fit in?
We have many fathers who bring their child to the music group. This can be a very special part of a father’s parenting. Some dads come on a regular basis … others make a special visit. We also often have grandparents who take on the music group as a special activity with a grandchild.
My two year old is very active. What if he can’t sit still?
Toddlers are active. The value of the music class is helping them to learn to find focus and become a member of a group activity. Participating, sharing, watching, waiting and listening when and where appropriate are what we teach these children. It is important that they learn these things. Music class will help them.
My child is very shy. What if she won’t join in?
Assisting a reticent child to participate in the music group will aid this child’s social development. The music class is an excellent preparation for formal learning and school.
I also have a baby. Can I bring the baby along with us to the class?
When baby is young and in a capsule or when a toddler is in a pusher this is not a problem. A mother can quickly attend to the baby/toddler needs without interrupting the class or compromising her child’s involvement in the group.
What if my child is sick and I miss a class … is there provision for this?
If you miss a class you can take a make-up lesson at any of our other venues.
