About the 'Music Discovery' Classes
Only 4 children maximum per class !
All instruments are supplied by Christensen's !
Our 'Music Discovery' classes enable children
to experience a whole range of musical instruments and learn about many essential aspects of music. Children gain hands-on experience at playing instruments within their physical capabilities to enable them to connect with each instrument, and experience what it's really like to play the instruments. Other instruments that are not within children's physical cababilities are demonstrated and explained.
Instruments covered include Keyboard, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Violin, Cello, Glockenspiel, Recorder, Clarinet, Flute, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Percussion and Drums. Singing and building confidence at the microphone is also included in the class content.
Our classes cater for three age categories : 2 to 3 years, 4 to 5 years, 5 to 6 years.
Class content is varied to suit the comprehension level of each age bracket and includes:
- introduction to and experiencing Musical Instruments
- learning about common music symbols and aspects of music theory
- activities to develop children's natural rhythmic abilities and musical expression
- 'ear' development and awareness
Home activity sheets are supplied to the children at each lesson to consolidate what they learn. These are fun quizzes and drawing sheets which the children love doing. (very young children may need some parental assistance)
Each class lesson presents a different instrument and aspect of music. The last lesson of term is a band day where the children play along
together on different instruments so they are learning musicianship skills and developing confidence at playing with others right from a very young age.
These classes give children an invaluable musical experience and enable a child to sort themselves out with music, and decide which instrument they may like to learn. Children may complete as many terms
as they wish until they are ready and sure about learning an instrument.
