Level 1: Birth – 12 months
Babies in this session spend 30 minutes in a session led by the teacher followed by 15 minutes free play when instruments are laid on the carpet for exploration. These 15 minutes allow for unlimited hands-on play and adds to the social aspect of the class.
Classes aim to develop language and communication through songs, rhymes and movement. Parents bond with their own babies in led activities. The varied instruments and music used, introduce babies to a whole variety of sounds and stimuli. Rhythm is developed through jigging, rhythmic playing of drums and other instruments and rhymes. At this stage, tuneful singing is developed simply through listening to adults and becoming aware of sounds and language.
