Why do music with Young Children?
Research shows that music taught to children at an early age encourages
hand/eye co-ordination and helps to develop speech but above all it
gives children confidence. In addition, it teaches them the joys of
singing and movement and playing different instruments each week.
Learning how to be part of a social group, how to take turn, how to
listen, how to be still and most importantly how to have fun in a
disciplined environment are the key elements in Jo Jingles classes.
"A child is more confident, usually
speaks early and gains an early grasp of the rules of communication
if started early in clapping games, group activities and musical games."
- Dr Miriam Stoppard |
How the classes are organised
Classes are predominantly split into 1-2 years, 2-3 years and 3-5
years. In the older age range Victoria incorporates small amounts
of musical notation with fun pieces of homework, if the children are
interested. To date, Victoria has introduced the older classes to
Peter and the Wolf, The Nutcracker, Barber the Elephant, the Musical
Life of Gustav Mole and Eileen Diamond's 'Mr McGrew'. |
