Jump aboard the Zoo Train!
Join us as we capture the delightful experiences of a trip to the zoo, drawing on the movements, sights and sounds of zoo animals to inspire musical learning. We will explore the concepts of steady beat, legato & staccato, timbre and vocal play through group play, individual exploration and a balance of structure and spontaneity – providing the stability and gentle guidance needed to nurture creativity in your little one.
Activities are conducted in an open-ended, playful atmosphere designed to maintain each child’s interest and offer a variety of ways to explore each week’s theme with babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Family Time classes create a foundation for musical growth and development as well as an opportunity for family growth and learning.
Classes commence on Tuesday 4th October. Register and pay in full by 27th September 2011 for an earlybird discount.
