Classes take place on Thursdays at 15:45 and 16:40
For children aged 4-8 who love music!
Musical Giants classes lay excellent musical foundations in our students, which can either enhance 1:1 instrumental lessons already taking place or act as an excellent precursor. We teach your children to learn about the building blocks of music (pulse, rhythm, pitch etc), and also how to notate rhythms and pitch, letting their musical roots grow.
Teaching uses both Kodály and Dalcoze methodology, and the course is designed to be fun and educational. Children will be:
– exploring what their voices can do, how to control them and developing their ears to support pitch matching and singing in tune.
– moving to music, using their bodies with purpose, to show what is happening in the music e.g. depicting the pulse, pitch, dynamics, metre, mood etc.
– building their confidence as they lead songs from the singing chair, improvising actions or lyrics, working in pairs or groups.
– playing musical games, building friendships, and having fun (with a fair amount of giggling!)

Class info:
Our mixed-aged classes are thoughtfully designed with differentiated activities to cater to each child’s individual ability, ensuring equitable progress regardless of age, though the 16:40 class typically moves at a slightly faster pace. Additionally, these classes facilitate parents who wish to have siblings attend together, providing a convenient and inclusive learning environment for families.
Continuing with Musical Giants for a full academic year allows students to experience consistent, progressive instruction, fostering skill development and confidence, which are essential for noticeable improvement in their musical abilities.
Parents will be charged termly and course dates will follow the school academic year.
