What Happens In Baby Music Classes?

In the baby music classes I teach parents and carers lots of songs and rhymes to use at home, where you can find the most important teachable moments.

Adult and child participate in

  bouncing rhymes and songs,
  tapping and tickling games, and
  lullabies to develop a feeling for the beat.

I encourage you to learn the rhymes/songs because it is really important for the baby to hear the voice of a person they love, so that they too will find their own singing voice when they are a little older. This can be around 2 years.

Singing is very important in the development of musicality. Early music benefits the whole child.

Children also feel the beat and rhythm of a variety of recorded music including classical and international folk music as they move independently or are carried by adults. The children also tap on a drum and experiment with sound shakers. They hear songs with their name in them.

Most important … babies smile and move … Mums, Dads and Carers smile, laugh, and enjoy the time with their little one.

Fun is had by all, and foundations are started.

What a great start.

Ten tiny fingers that always want to play,
That never stop exploring the wonder of today.
Ten tiny fingers that from the very start,
Will reach out for tomorrow, yet always hold your heart.

Two tiny feet,
That wave in the air...
Two tiny hands,
That tug at your hair...
An adorable little face,
A bundle of joy to love and embrace.

“I really enjoy the connections that develop through the shared music experience over the long term, between adult-child, child-child and child-teacher. 

The journey to independence is a fascinating process as children find their own voice.” ~Jill

"My two children have participated in the Macquarie University Early Childhood Music Program for 2 - 5 year olds under the expert teaching and guidance of Jill. Jill's multi-talent abilities of singing, playing a variety of instruments and early childhood education make her a very qualified and valued music teacher. My children have flourished under her auspices and really enjoy music in all forms: singing, dancing and playing instruments. I would recommend any child to participate in one of Jill's classes learning rhythm, pitch etc in an environment full of fun and creativity."

"Jill has taught my daughter as part of the Macquarie University's Institute of Early Childhood's Music Program for Children, both when she was a two year old and four year old. On both occasions, my daughter has found her engaging and fun to have as a music teacher. As a parent and fellow music educator, Jill has a great manner with the children of all ages. Her programs are thorough and interesting, sequential and challenging, yet achievable so as to foster the love, enjoyment and creativity of music. Thanks for a great start to another young person's musical life Jill!"
