Music for early years
Little Musicas provides a gentle introduction to music by teaching important concepts in a lively, playful way. Children build an early grounding in rhythm, pitch, tempo, dynamics, timbre and texture before progressing to Little Musicas Two or an instrument.
Parents and guardians learn alongside the children in the introductory class, giving them practical ways to encourage music-making at home.
Introductory class:
Ages 3–4 with a parent or guardian
Class length:
Approximately 40 minutes
Advanced class:
Ages 4–6 without parents
Learning style:
Structured, active and group-based
Inside the class
The familiar class format uses repetition to reinforce new ideas while adding fresh musical challenges each week.
Some children take a little time before joining every activity. Simply watching is still learning. Classes are completed together as a group, and parents or guardians remain with their child throughout the introductory session.
Four ways to begin
Each pathway supports a different age and stage, while keeping music social, practical and fun.
Ages 3–4 · With parent or guardian
A gentle introduction to rhythm, singing, movement and musical concepts, with adults learning alongside their child.
Ages 4–6 · Children attend independently
The next step adds new rhythms, sight-reading on the treble clef, recorder skills, rock songs and stage time.
Ages 5+ · Instruments provided
Small groups explore violin, viola, cello or double bass. After the 12-week programme, students can progress to the orchestra.
18 months–2½ years · With parent or guardian
A gentle introduction to singing, movement and rhythm using the varied percussion and instruments available in the school.
