Classes start : from Tue Sept 5th - Dec - prorated weekly - Join anytime!!
🌟Prerequisite to advanced class preparing for moving onto instrument lessons and choir: All children should have completed a full year in the 4-6yr Musicianship 1 class. In the 5-6 year classes children learnt to read basic music notation and other essential skills.
Playground style musical games challenge your child's aural perception through more complex songs and creative movement. Parachutes, glockenspiels and other props continue to play an integral part of each class and help to bring alive the musical points. The children are now becoming confident individuals and enjoy taking the initiative in leading others: they get great pleasure from working things out for themselves.
Through creative movement your child will develop an awareness of musical form and expression as they become more involved in making choices about the use of dynamics and tempo within a song.
🔍 Now that their ears have been "finely tuned" we sing in solfège (do,re.mi) with hand-signs, which enables children to listen to music and transcribe it onto paper, and to look at sheet music and hear it internally without the use of an instrument challenge children’s aural perception. The focus is on developing music literacy and reinforcing music concepts.
What you need:
We will be handing out instruments for multiple use, but you can also bring something yourself if you like; something to shake, to tap, to wave (scarf) and a small teddy to cuddle for listening time.
We will have "Music Bags" available, prepared with care and they will come in a Colourstrings Bags from $21. They are all new instruments, that can be used by child and parent, and cleaned at home then re-used. Everything you will need and more.
🌟 Children should complete three sessions to move onto Choir or an instrument, as it will enhance their understanding and success moving forward!
