About the class
Branch Into Music early childhood music and movement classes aim to encourage each child’s musical development. They utilise games and songs to encourage children to feel the beat and gain confidence in singing. They include both structured and unstructured movement activities and instrument playing. Children will also participate in active listening activities, which incorporate movement, instrument playing and props. The songs and rhymes used are short and easy, have a limited vocal range and include repetition to aid in-tune singing.
