Q: What makes Music Time for Tots different?
Q: What makes Music Time for Tots different?
Our classes are different to some other music groups that you may have heard about because of our carefully structured two-yearly cycle of themes that have been chosen to be interesting and relevant to our very young pupils, for the variety of props and instruments we have available for the children to experience the activities hands-on. This is also one of the reasons that discerning parents often choose our program and style of class for their children. We teach the children about simple musical concepts by moving our bodies, and through making and listening to music, using props, rhymes and rhythmic patterns.

Q: How many children are in the classes?
We keep our classes to a reasonable size to enable even the shyest and quietest of children to have their turn without fear of being overlooked or missing out, and we take the time to help develop your child's confidence and find their inner voice through our fun and lively musical activities. And if your child is already brimming with confidence and enthusiasm, they will definitely enjoy all the action songs, musical instruments, and jumping around that we do! In addition, our carefully planned class structure benefits all children by encouraging listening, helping them learn about waiting, sharing and taking turns, tidying up and also working and playing together as part of a team. Be assured that there are plenty of instruments and props used during any given activity, for all children registered in the class!

The Fall, Winter & Spring programs run 10 weeks long. The Summer program runs 6 weeks long. The music part of the session is about 45 minutes.
