This course is for Nursery and Reception.
A child’s natural love of music is developed with children exploring music independently of their career.
At this stage, children enjoy musical games, activities and songs to develop and consolidate a sense of rhythm through listening and reading rhythmic notation.
Alongside this, they develop and reinforce their ability to sing in tune.
The children explore the sound qualities of a variety of percussion instruments, and how these can be used in a creative composition.
As with all effective development, the focus is on fun and enjoyment.
Saturdays 9am
Tuesdays 4.00pm
Activities continue to encourage a strong sense of rhythm and pulse. Children experience a sense of achievement and enjoyment both when playing alone and when making music as part of a group.
The ability to read rhythm and pitch using musical notation is continued and consolidated while performing on the recorder from written music.
Saturdays 9.30am
Tuesdays 4.30pm
While emphasising the enjoyment of playing alone and as a small group, children develop the skills to play accurately from written music and continue to develop their sense of pulse, rhythm and pitch.
A good technical foundation on the violin will enable the children to enjoy playing and make steady progress.
Instruments are provided by Musicale for one year.
Violin Club – Saturdays 11am
Advanced Recorder – Tuesdays 5pm
Roundabouts is an excellent concept. This programme has inspired my child to take up the trumpet.
Amanda Newman, the Roundabouts teacher, has been such an inspiration to my daughter. We have followed the Roundabouts experience since she was four, and now she is in the violin club. So rewarding.
George can’t wait to get to Roundabouts on a Saturday morning, and always comes home with a big smile on his face!
