Level 2 Info
For your little musician, everything is an instrument, and everyday activities are worth singing about!
Our 1st Music Level 1 classes utilise your child's boundless energy and naturally creative personality to establish a genuine musical foundation through exploration and imaginative play, while discovering in-tune singing voices and respectful playing of real musical instruments (chime bars and hand drum along with various Orff percussion). Because Mums & Dads are a child’s first and favourite teacher, parents (and siblings in tow) are invited to share the last 15 minutes of class - join the fun and hear about our weekly Music@Home activities.
