Description
Our engaging Preschool Music Class is carefully designed to develop young children’s rhythmic, vocal, creative, and physical skills through singing, movement, and the use of percussion instruments and other tactile props. Our experienced instructor uses a variety of music genres, from classical to children’s music by New Zealand composers, to make each class a fun and interactive learning experience that encourages musical exploration and growth appropriate to the age and stage of the children. Simple elements of musical notation are introduced during the term and instruments such as recorders may be used as students progress.
Students will start to develop:
- Basic musical skills: rhythm, singing, and notation
- An interest in music
- Rhythm and timing
- Listening and auditory processing ability
- Gross and fine motor skills
- Creativity and imagination
- Language and communication
- Social and emotional skills
