In “Mini Musos” there is no end to the variety of songs and activities that encourage independence and musical development. With a book and CD for use at home and in class, “Mini Musos” is all about experiencing music in as many ways as possible – we sing, dance, listen, pretend and play percussion as well as using finger play, hoops, tunnels, pipe cleaners and colouring to help learn all about music. “Mini Musos” teaches pre reading concepts of pitch and begins rhythm notation reading. Keyboard experience is a focus of term 4 in the “Mini Musos” course, which prepares for entry into the AMS Junior Course. Classes are 40 minutes and enrolment is by the term. |
