Mini Musicians

Musikate Mini-Musicians
A New Class for 4 – 7 year olds

Our mini-musicians course is a specially designed course for children who are in Reception or Year one. Formal lessons at this age can easily stunt musical growth. Learning to read music, can often become a chore and it can be quite difficult to combine learning to play an instrument and reading musical notation at such a young age.

In our sessions we use fun games to enable children to understand how music is written down. They will become familiar with the piano keyboard and begin to learn to use their ear to play familiar tunes. They will continue to develop singing skills and become familiar with the sol – fa system of sight singing. As mini conductors they will learn to beat time to music in different time signatures. They will also learn to recognise major and minor scales and sounds.
Parents or carers are encouraged to attend the sessions with their children so that games may be continued at home.

The classes will be run in blocks of 10 termly sessions at a cost of £10 per session. A pack of course materials and games will also need to be purchased, price will be dependent on what is needed for the term. Classes will consist of no more than 5 children.

Each course will be arranged at a time suitable for the participants. Please let us know if you would like to reserve a space on a course.
