Come and share the love of music with your child with a one-on-one session. I sing and play guitar and there's moving to music and fun. It's tailored to the age and needs of your child and it's paced so that you and your child get the maximum benefit. It's excellent for children who may be overwhelmed in a group setting, but also gets them ready for when they want or need to be in a group setting later on. There's puppets and props and singing and dancing and it's top fun!

Wednesdays and Thursdays in Parkdale at 10am. I sing and play guitar, so the music is all live. There's singing and playing percussion instruments and moving to music. There are colourful puppets and props. It's really interactive and fun. Children are introduced to tempo and dynamics, beat and rhythm, high and low, timbre and loads more. There are opportunities for children to perform in front of their peers, which is great for building confidence, children learn to work both as a team and solo, take turns, listening skills are developed and it’s a great fun time with music. Many children who do the Little Feet Music program have the confidence to learn a musical instrument. Research shows learning music uses more parts of the brain than any other activity and that children who learn music in their formative years develop better reading and communication skills, hand-eye coordination and endless other skills. Enrol for the term and you get a Little Feet Music song/colouring book with all of the songs we do during the term.

Location:Carnegie, Black Rock, and Brighton are coming soon! - Term 1: Monday, February 3rd - Term 2: Monday, April 28th - Term 3: Monday, July 21st - Term 4: Monday, October 13th
