Level 3: 2 – 4 years
The full 45 minute session is led by the teacher. In addition to the general themes, children are now ready to explore musical topics in addition to practising activities they have learned in the previous levels. Topics such as ‘Peter and the Wolf’, ‘World Music’ etc are introduced in inventive and exciting ways. Depending on the topic, children will often gain hands-on experience of orchestral instruments such as a cello, bass drum, trumpet, etc.
As well as parents singing, the teacher will now help the children to learn some of the words to songs for themselves, developing language skills. A slightly more advanced song is introduced each half term to aid with tuneful singing.
