We offer exciting and fun music sessions across Berkshire on Saturday mornings for children aged 0-7 years. Singing, playing simple percussion instruments, movement and listening is the focus of each session. For parents and carers of babies and toddlers age 0-3 years, we have weekday sessions also.
The training in basic musicianship skills prepares the children to start playing an instrument when they are ready for it.
The Early Years department has a long history of teaching children who have progressed to music making in a wide variety of levels and styles, many reaching outstanding professional standards. We pride ourselves in offering live music and high quality teaching standards throughout, constantly adapting, improving and inventing.
As an Early Years team, we are successfully expanding our ‘Pantomimus’ programme into Infant Departments in Schools throughout Berkshire
