We're excited to welcome you to our new studio with our CovidSafe face-to-face class format. We've introduced stringent hygiene procedures, physical distancing and other recommendations in our new larger studio to help keep us all safe and healthy.
At The Music Playground our “Baby Steps” classes focus on creating and enhancing a musical bond between parent and child, (even if you don’t consider yourself a musical person). We help parents and carers to feel comfortable singing, dancing and making music with their child, because every child can and should be musical, all they need is the right environment.
Infants are incredibly musical at birth because their sense of hearing is already fully developed. From the beginning babies use their music processing network as they recognise and prefer the sound of their mother's voice. They remember things they repeatedly heard in the womb, and listen carefully to process the sounds of speech, babbling away using the sounds of the language spoken to them by the age of nine months.
Our unique and carefully planned curriculum is based on Early Childhood Research and led by qualified, experienced teachers with specialist qualifications in both the Suzuki and Kodaly methods.
