Early CHildhood Music services 

What to expect!

Each lesson fosters the exploration of sounds and allows children the freedom to create their own music with their voice, body and carefully chosen instruments. With each visit I touch on one musical goal, for example: Beat, rhythm, timbre, pitch, tempo, meter, dynamics, improvisation, musical memory and much more. Majority of my visit focus on the pure enjoyment of music and the magical impact it has on the lives of children and adults.

Music with Infants & Toddlers

    * Finger plays are apart of our folklore, children’s linguistic heritage. They introduce children to the natural rhythm of language, help develop fine motor & co-ordination skills and allow for social opportunities 

  • Bouncing games (also known as dandling games)
    *Bouncing games allow children to feel music through their bodies teaching beat, rhythm, musical memory while providing pure joy and curiosity
