"The Early Childhood Music program has been designed to give young children and appreciation and enjoyment of music – we like to have FUN while we learn how to feel the music and become musical people. Not everyone is destined to be a great musician, but everyone has the capacity to be musical and find joy in song, dance and music. The trick is to start young. "
Happy Music Making

Empower your child to explore the world in a musical environment by developing a sense of curiosity and delight in self-expression. The goal is to assist your child in the overall learning process and appreciation of what the musical world has to offer.
Qualified professional teachers implement programs that are a planned approach to the mental, emotional, social and physical needs of the child from birth to school age. The teachers are keenly aware that a variety of musical activities will develop in children symbolic thinking, physical co-ordination, language and social interaction.
Children will gain many skills and may be motivated to learn a musical instrument, which in turn will further enhance their learning process.
Classes are designed to allow children to develop at their own pace.

Sing 'n' String
Music educators confirm that early exposure to music is very important to a child’s development. It encourages concentration, co-ordination, self-discipline, creativity and positive attitudes to academic work later on. While making music is educational, it’s also fun and rewarding.
The new transitional program bridges the move from Early Childhood Music, a music appreciation class for one to three year olds, to individual tuition in a particular instrument. Sing and String is perfect for every four – five year old, concentrating on voice development and string instruments before they begin instrumental tuition in the instrument of their choice.
The 45 minute session includes 25 minutes of singing with warm-ups, games, songs, rounds and gives children their first choral experience. The next 20 minutes introduces children to string instruments, the easiest musical instrument for small fingers, and includes games, and practice at handling instruments.
After one year of this program, students will be ready to move on to private tuition on a particular instrument or voice. Every child deserves the opportunity to experience music first-hand and the Orange Regional Conservatorium aims to provide that experience.
