The following Classes are offered for children.
Jitterbugs Music was developed in the belief that every child loves music and provides a stimulating introductory program of music, singing, action and craft activities for children aged 2 - 3 years.
The in-class musical experience shared with a parent / carer nurtures creativity and helps to instill the basis for self expression and for feeling & understanding music.
Jitterbugs Music classes provide a secure early learning environment where children are encouraged to share your love of music in both passive and active ways.
Little Beebopper Music is a structured yet stimulating program of music and action for children aged 3 - 4 years. This course aims to develop early music fundamentals such as rhythm, aural, pitch, co-ordination and developmental procedures of creative ability, fine and gross motor skills.
