TUNES FOR TOTS

The weekly 30 minute session develops the independence of your toddler even further through the introduction of independent activities that allow decisions to be made in the music room! Celebrating the art that is music, your toddler will have the opportunity to be in charge of their instrument, prop and own movement to encourage sensitivity towards the music they hear and how it makes them feel. Accompanied by music developed from Singing Sparrows and brand new songs, each learning subject in Drumming Ducks aims to encourage self expression, social skills and creating music together!
