Music Box 1 & 2

Music Box 1

Age/Level: 4-5 (Reception) Time: 10:15am - 10:45am Taught By: Madeleine Johnston

Music Box 1 is extremely popular and very good fun! It is the perfect introduction class for 4-5 yr olds, learning music through movement, singing and games. Not only does it give children the best start in their musical life, on the way to instrumental groups and lessons, it also provides the opportunity to form friendship groups at the very start of their YMM journey.

One year on from Music Box 1, this class focuses on more advanced musicianship skills, through movement, singing, games and classroom percussion. After this year, children will be well-equipped to start an instrumental group and focus on learning the specifics of their instrument.
