Is the Introductory session obligation-free?
Absolutely! We want as many families to benefit from the opportunity. By actively participating in your recommended class alongside other member-families, attending our Parent Education session, we get to know eachother, and you get introduced to a dynamic multilingual music and movement class, the only one of its kind in Trinidad & Tobago. You can continue with us when you're ready to commit and secure your child's development and family education through music.
Should I come to see if my child likes it?
Football, gymnastics, dancing, karate... those classes you try out to see if they're good at it or if they like it. As for Music, there is a tonne of research proving music training isn't just for those who show interest in music, but is in fact beneficial to all.
So, you're coming to music class because you're a little curious about how music education is delivered by a certified specialist in the field and love the idea that you can learn so much about your child's development and parenting, together as a family, understanding that music is innate to us all and you want to give your child an unparallelled advantage!
Does music class trump all other extra-curricular activities?
In relatively recent history, music has been inaccurately categorized as extracurricular or non-academic, despite its integral role in the education and development of children—a role recognized even in Ancient Greek civilizations. Furthermore, music and movement education has been shown to enhance children's performance not only in sports but also in various other disciplines.
Here are 3 reasons why music is a big win for your family!
1) Music is an essential part of our human existance; from the comforting rhythm of mom's heartbeat in the womb, to the melodies that get stuck in our head for decades, it's everywhere! Not even a global shutdown stopped the music.
2) Music gives you life-long skills with daily opportunities for fulfillment and enjoyment anywhere, anytime!
3) Music is a survival tool to help you successfully navigate life's vast ocean of experiences and having deeper knowledge and early application of it's immense power will supercharge your child's development.
What to expect when we come to class?
Children are constantly absorbing and observing everything around them. Our culturally diverse programme is a carefully researched and designed curriculum of age-appropriate, experiential-based activities which engage, enhance and empower learning.
Each class group is specifically targeted towards the developmental age and abilities of the child, adults included, building upon existing skills and fostering new ones in the areas of music, movement and multi-language.
Our Parent Orientation session/s will give you deeper insight on appropriate expectations and how to be adequately prepared have the best experience possible.
We acknowledge and celebrate each child's journey, so come with an open mind!
