Tunes for Toddlers

A six-week early-years music class for 2–4-year olds & their parents, grandparents or minders

Description

Inspired by the Kodály Method and Orff Approach, these early-years music classes teach toddlers the fundamentals of music through singing, movement, and play.

Research has demonstrated the wide-ranging benefits that music-making can have for toddlers and parents alike, from learning and developmental benefits to enhancing social skills and improving well-being.

These classes provide a solid musical foundation for further musical training (a perfect stepping-stone to pre-instrumental classes in the Royal Irish Academy of Music) and most importantly, instil a love of music.

This course is delivered in Person at the RIAM, with fun-filled music classes in the heart of Dublin City!

 No class on the 4th of April! (For course starting on the 7th of March)
