Suzuki Early Childhood Education is a weekly 50 – 60 minute class for children and a ‘grown up’. The music classes follow a 2 week program (with variations).  A teacher leads the class in singing, dancing, twirling, chanting, stomping, tip-toeing, clapping, counting, taking turns, reading, exploring pitch and rhythm on baby/child-friendly instruments, and listening to classical music.

Group 1: children aged  0 –  3years of age (approx)

Group 2: preschool age 3½ years of age onwards until the start of school
Ideally preschool age children should spend time in the Group 1 class to establish beat, rhythm and pitch

Children are innately drawn to music and they learn best through moving and listening.

Music awakens and stimulates neural pathways in the brain that are associated with higher forms of intelligence, such as abstract thinking, empathy, mathematics, science.

Music’s melodic and rhythmic patterns provide exercise for the brain and help develop memory. Studying music helps children establish good listening habits, which are essential for achievement in school.

Overall, music activities are perfect for child development. Music immerses the child in language, evokes movement, stimulates the brain and fosters physical coordination – all in a group setting that builds community – a holistic experience.

The Suzuki Early Childhood Education curriculum is unique among movement and music classes. The curriculum is based on a mastery of concepts and developing ability.

Our early childhood music programme helps parents embrace their role as their child’s most significant teachers by helping them observe and celebrate their child’s social, emotional, mental, physical, and musical development.
