DO WE GIVE OUT MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS TO EVERY CHILD DO WE GIVE OUT MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS TO EVERY CHILD AT ONCE? ⁠ ⁠ Sometimes! If it means that the outcome is going to be meaningful, musical and engaging then yes, the whole group will play instruments simultaneously. Most commonly we will do this with egg shakers and maracas – they make a lovely sound when played en masse, and children benefit from watching and following each others’ movements. Often we will have entire groups of children performing the beat successfully using these as a group.⁠ ⁠ At other times we take turns with instruments. For example, our claves and triangles require more finely honed motor skills to play correctly, and if just one or two children are playing them our music teachers are able to help them play successfully. Also, taking turns will often make instrumental exploration more meaningful. Children feel the “specialness” of the moment and play much more musically and carefully.⁠ ⁠ Some instruments, like our ukuleles and chime bars, are mostly for the children to listen to while our teachers play, with occasional guided exploration. The wondrous hush that falls over the room when one of these much loved instruments is taken out is just beautiful!

We had a great question from a client this week - We had a great question from a client this week - why do we SING stories at the end of class rather than reading them? One of our aims is that children grow to become lifelong active and thoughtful audiences for the arts, but we know that this can’t start with three year olds sitting through operas, so we start with sung stories! The majority of our classes revolve around making music TOGETHER - our teachers sing WITH rather than TO the children. However, singing a story to the children at the conclusion of each class offers them the opportunity to be an audience for a musical performance that is engaging and age appropriate. Children are often captivated by storybooks, and adding a melody to stories that lend themselves to it (stories with rhyming text or ones based on pre-existing songs) provides a short, accessible musical performance for the children to enjoy.

Children will explore musical concepts of pitch (high & low), dynamics (loud & soft), tempo (fast & slow), rhythm and beat as well as developing in-tune singing . Our classes are also designed to aid the development of cognition, language, fine & gross motor skills, social-emotional awareness AND confidence.⁠ Get in touch with us today to find out how we can bring our amazing program into your early education and care service!⁠ ⁠

COMMUNITY CLASS UPDATE⁠ ⁠ Hi everyone! I've ma COMMUNITY CLASS UPDATE⁠ ⁠ Hi everyone! I've made the incredibly difficult decision not to resume community classes this year. I miss my beautiful community class families SO much, but feel that this is the right decision for now. I have every intention of starting the classes back up again at the beginning of 2021 if all is going well. I will be in touch by email when classes are starting up again. If you are a regular community class client, or if you have filled out the form the Community Class page of our website any time from March until now, you will be notified when classes are commencing again.⁠ ⁠ Please note that our childcare music programs are still going ahead as normal, and we do have some availability for new programs, so if your little one attends childcare and you'd like us to run classes at their centre please get in touch with us and we will try to make it happen!⁠ ⁠ Much love to you all!⁠ Jen x⁠ ⁠ ⁠
