Music For Youngsters

 

Early Childhood Music

 

Give your child a head start in simple musical concepts such as rhythm, pitch, dynamics and instrumentation in a friendly, nurturing and fun environment.

 

The formative years of childhood are crucial for intellectual, social and emotional development. Access to developmental music programs during these early years encourages and, indeed, assists in the development of good listening and comprehension skills, along with enhanced concentration.

 

The Early Childhood Music course provides a program of sequenced musical experiences commencing at six-twelve months and continuing until age five. The program introduces children to music through a variety of fun and engaging activities, including listening, dance, singing, rhymes and playing percussion instruments.

 

Classes are held in Muswellbrook, Scone and Singleton

 

Pre-Instrument Program

The transition from Early-Childhood Music to more formalised individual private tuition is often a time when children lose interest and may not continue with musical education.  Here at the Conservatorium, Early Childhood Music graduates can enrol in our
Pre-Instrument Program.

Pre-instrument courses teach students the fundamentals of music, with the use of basic tuned and un-tuned percussion instruments. 

Students will progress through a sequentially designed program, developing knowledge of sight reading, memorisation skills and aural perception. Students are given the opportunity of performance experience through Student Recitals
