Mini Music for Children Aged 4-7

One of two courses run on Saturdays dedicated to giving younger children a fun introduction to music.

Mini Music aims to develop children’s natural curiosity and enjoyment in music through active participation in:

  • Rhythmic Movement – a fun activity designed to develop a strong awareness of rhythm and pulse through movement. As well as being enjoyable, this activity is also recognised as accelerating a thorough understanding of the musical elements
  • Singing – an activity geared to promoting musicianship, ensemble skills and teamwork, as well as core singing skills. Many children gain a first experience of public performance in this activity, developing the real sense of achievement that comes through performing in a large group.

Our philosophy in Mini Music is to encourage grown-ups to join in too. One parent/carer per child should therefore attend the classes and be prepared to sing and move too! (NB We regret we cannot accommodate siblings or friends who haven’t registered in the classes.)

Demonstrations of a range of string, wind and brass instruments will be given as part of the course. And for those who wish, a package of instrumental lessons plus Mini Music classes can be arranged, at an additional fee. A lesson-share scheme is offered subject to availability.

The course is held on Saturdays, usually in the morning or early afternoon.

The cost for a 10-week course is £85.
