Registration for Fall 2021 is open now!
This is an in-person music program, held at the VSO School
| For 2021-22, in-person Mini Music Makers classes will have lower class maximums and there will be no sharing of materials. Instead, children should bring these items: * something to shake * something to tap * something to wave * something to cuddle You can find these things at home, or if you prefer, we have mini music packs available for $15 that include a scarf; wooden claves; an egg shaker; a stuffed friend and a VSOSoM drawstring tote. Purchase your pack online, and it will be ready for you to pick up from the VSO School’s ground floor front desk. Click here to purchase a Mini Music Pack View our COVID-19 Safety Protocols |
Our Mini Music Makers classes are taught by highly experienced and qualified Early Childhood music instructors and musicians, using a bespoke approach which takes the best of Kodaly, Dalcroze, Orff and Colourstrings Kindergarten methodologies. Full of singing, moving, playing and learning, the classes are progressive in nature, guiding your child through the foundations of music learning in a fun and highly interactive class.
NEW FOR 2021-22: The three class terms in the school year have been increased to 12 weeks (Fall) / 9 weeks (Winter) / 12 weeks (Spring), based on feedback and giving you more music and less down-time between terms. Students stay in their same age group throughout the school year.
