Children learn through singing, moving, listening and playing a variety of tuned and un-tuned percussion instruments. These classes provide an excellent musical foundation where children can develop their singing voice, inner ear and the fine motor skills required to play a musical instrument. In the second year of the programme, children also learn to read music, equipping them to begin the recorder the following year. In Music Kindergarten and Music Makers, children develop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-purple-color has-text-color\">\n<li>their ability to play music with awareness of others<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a sense of beat through pulse\/rhythmic activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a sense of pitch through singing and playing pitched percussion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>self-confidence through \u201cturn taking\u201d activities and performing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>their ability to listen and respond to recorded and live music<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>their ability to make musical choices\/decisions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an understanding of simple music notation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a positive attitude to music and music making<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please be aware that parents\/carers are expected to attend the class with their child and take an active part in supporting their child\u2019s learning.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When and Where: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wednesdays \u2013 John Savage Centre, Hainault<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/visionrcl.org.uk\/event\/music-kindergarten-wednesday\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/visionrcl.org.uk\/centre\/redbridge-music-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4:00pm \u2013 4:45pm Music Kindergarten (Reception)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/visionrcl.org.uk\/event\/young-music-makers-wednesday\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/visionrcl.org.uk\/event\/young-music-makers-wednesday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5:00pm \u2013 5:45pm Young Music Makers (Yr.1)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thursdays \u2013 John Savage Centre, Hainault<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/visionrcl.org.uk\/event\/music-kindergarten-thursday\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/visionrcl.org.uk\/event\/music-kindergarten-thursday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4:00pm \u2013 4:45pm Music Kindergarten (Reception)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/visionrcl.org.uk\/event\/young-music-makers-thursday\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/visionrcl.org.uk\/event\/young-music-makers-thursday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5:00pm \u2013 5:45pm Young Music Makers (Yr.1)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-vision-heading-stretch\" id=\"h-more-music-makers\">More Music Makers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:11px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-normal-font-size\">More Music Makers is a class for children in Years 2, 3 or 4 who may have missed out on the opportunity to attend Music Kindergarten or Music Makers.
