Welcome to our unique one and two hour Multi-instrumental Classes
This class is designed for children 2.5-5 years of age who would like to attend a two hour program at our academy.
This program focuses on a nurturing child-centred approach to musical education learning.
Our Curriculum plan incorporates a range of musical elements, styles and teaching methods including Kodaly and Orff-Schulwerk.
Every lesson also incorporates a myriad of musical activities, musical games and especially multi-instrumental instrumental learning. These classes form the foundation for future instrumental specialisation by providing the children with a wonderful theoretically based musical experience.
Parents bring their children at the start of class with a small snack and drink bottle then return 1-2 hours later.

Guitar/Ukulele, Violin, Drum Kit, Percusion, Piano/Keyboard, Singing/Choir, Creative Movement/Dance, Composition/Improvisation
