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.
