SUZUKI MUSIC TIME
Music for under 4's
What Suzuki Music Time says
Suzuki Miusic Time- Every Thursday 9.45 and 11am- For babies & toddlers up to 3 years old Classes are run by trained Suzuki Early Childhood Education teacher Hannah, who is also a Suzuki violin teacher. Our Saturday Music Mind Games classes are led by Naomi, who also conducts one of our Suzuki Hub orchestras. Hannah and Naomi lead the group of children and parents through a fast-paced musical curriculum, reciting nursery rhymes, singing, playing high quality musical instruments, dancing, marching in time, twirling, counting, leading, taking turns, listening and reading. The classes are similar - the Thursday classes follow the official Suzuki Early Childhood Education syllabus while our Saturday classes are Naomi’s own unique blend of various approaches to toddler music and singing. The Suzuki Music Time programme develops musical, cognitive, social and motor skills including an understanding of dynamics, pitch, rhythm and pulse, greater numeracy and vocabulary, group sensitivity, confidence in communicating, and a love of learning. It’s also a great way for parent and child to prepare for when they start learning an instrument together once the child turns four years old. Music Mind Games- Every Saturday 11.00AM- For 3 to 5 year olds Music Mind Games classes are 35 minutes long and require more focused concentration than SMT but are still loads of fun, with lots of singing and general musicianship, as well as some stave work and exposure to rhythm and pulse. These classes cost £14 each and there are discounts available for low-income families. The children in these groups are aged 3 to 5 years old.
