A six-week early-years music class for 0–2-year olds & their parents, grandparents or minders
Inspired by the Kodály Method and Orff Approach, these early-years music classes introduce your little one to the fundamentals of music through singing, listening, movement, and play.
Research has demonstrated the wide-ranging benefits that music-making can have for babies and parents alike, from learning and developmental benefits to enhancing social skills and improving well-being.
This course is delivered in Person at the RIAM, with fun-filled music classes in the heart of Dublin City!
