MUSIC WITH MUMMY

Three Four Time is the final step on our programme and as the name suggests, is for children aged 3 and 4 years, although 5 year olds are welcome too!

The classes are longer in length and last for 45mins. The children attend without their parent/carer, with an initial transition period to settle them in.

The classes will be filled with singing, dancing, listening, playing percussion instruments, educational games and structured activities; we use a variety of old favourites and original music. Each term we will have a new theme, (e.g. Noah's Ark, Spring) aimed at teaching different basic music concepts.

We will also start to prepare them for their transition into mainstream school and life in the wider world.

The Aims of Three Four Time

* To foster in young children the idea that music is a pleasurable social activity.
* To encourage listening skills, so essential not only in music but in all other areas of learning.
* To develop a sense of rhythm through movement, games and the use of simple instruments.
* To provide early training in singing.
* To spread the idea that music and singing can be an integral part of everyday life.
* To introduce some basic concepts such as 'stop' and 'start', 'loud' and 'soft', 'up' and 'down' etc.
* To introduce basic music terms, e.g. 'crescendo' and 'diminuendo', 'piano' and 'forte'.
* To introduce simple drama elements, e.g. facial expressions.
* To have fun and make friends.
