Which Stage is for you?
Group sessions with Music in Unison for little ones are the best introduction to the world of music. Numerous studies show that an early introduction to music positively impacts language and communication development, whilst other studies point to improved pattern recognition skills which are the basis for mathematical learning. Learning music at this age as part of a group is fun, developmentally appropriate and a great way to meet other parents and children.

-
We refine concepts such as tempo, dynamics, and pitch applying these to a range of different instruments.
-
Our mini maestros gain confidence in performing and singing as a soloist through a range of fun and engaging games and activities.

Welcome to Stage 5 of our course! This is where we really dive into playing musical instruments as a group. We're all in this together as we continue our musical journey from the earlier stages.
We'll be building upon the songs and techniques we've learned so far. Just like the belt system in karate, we have a fun way for kids to work through these stages and level up their skills.
Throughout this stage we use the following instruments:
-
Recorder

Keyboard

Ukulele
