Music For Toddlers

As children start to grow and develop, their confidence, creativity and coordination also come along in leaps and bounds!

During the class, children and parents have a special time together and the children develop social skills such as sharing and waiting. It's important that toddlers not only enjoy being part of a group but actively participate in the music making. As they join in they develop confidence and self expression through movement while a solid musical foundation is being laid.

The content of our music classes for toddlers aged from 15 months to 3 years is as follows:

• Unaccompanied singing - to encourage children to have the confidence to find their singing voice and to help them sing in tune
• Listening - to aid concentration and to develop the activity so it becomes something special
• Percussion playing - to explore different timbre, to help with coordination and to develop a sense of pulse
• Dancing - to develop confidence, self-expression and large motor skills
• Rhythmic imitation - to develop listening skills and to echo different rhythmic patterns accurately
• Rhymes - to develop and extend speech through the recognition of shape, pattern and form
