Care for Kindies preschool music classes

On Monday mornings, I teach up to 4 pre-schools and 45+ children 3.5 - 6 years old and I love it. Care for Kindies pre-school has 4 centres located in Leppington, Belmore and Belfield. If a  pre-school age child attends on a Monday, they are lucky enough to get to participate in the free classes (fees absorbed by the centre)  I run. Click HERE for an article on Care For Kindies and the benefits of learning music at such a young age. If you are located nearby, it is well worth investigating this program and many other great programs run at these centers. 

Details of the music program

small groups of 3-6 or sometimes the full class for interactive instruction, followed by 1 on 1 with the teacher to play the set piece for the week. 

Pieces/songs are usually played on an electric keyboard, occasionally hand bells, other percussion or a new instrument is introduced as a special event. Every week students sing, included actions/movement and learn to sign the different pitches using solfege.

Every effort is made to coincide songs with upcoming events or topics such as Easter, Christmas, Mother/Father's day or any other unit the preschool is working on can be catered for (with notice). 

Students not only learn about music skills such as singing, playing an instrument, Pitch, Dynamics, duration, rhythms etc, but they also learn fine motor skills, reading, counting, science of sound, co-ordination and more! 

Music Classes in Hornsby and surrounds

I am hoping to begin new classes in the Hornsby area as this is my local area. So if you are interested, please talk to your pre-school and pass on my details. I am happy to discuss options with the preschool director.
