Gateway to Music

Gateway To Music is a lively and enjoyable pre-instrumental course for children from 4 to 6 years old The aim of the course is to provide children with an introduction to the world of music, and to prepare them for the transition to instrumental tuition.  

​

Set in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, activities include: singing, rhythm training, percussion playing, storytelling through music, movement to music, note reading and writing, and an introduction to the various instruments.  

​

While many children progress from Gateway to Music 1 into the second year, it is also possible to enter directly into Gateway to Music 2. Pitched at a higher level than Gateway 1, this course includes all of the activities covered in the first year, and also includes basic keyboard tuition. . 

​

Classes run for 32 Weeks in total and all classes are 30mins in length.
