Early childhood music classes – sing, dance, play, learn

The hey dee ho music program is an educational music experience where children learn the concepts of beat, rhythm, tempo, pitch and dynamics in a play-based environment.

Different educational themes are presented each week using props, puppets, costumes and percussion instruments to deliver a multi-sensory experience.

Our four key focus areas presented throughout the year are; Key Sign Language, multicultural languages, Kodaly (Sol-Fa) singing method and spatial awareness. Music improves fine and gross motor skills, visual and auditory processing and cognitive learning. Through regular participation, using their imagination and role-play activities, children also experience improved memory, language and social skills.
