Sing, make music and play together in this musical learning experience, laying the foundation for future musical success.

Musical games and activities lead children through an expert-led curriculum, through which they’ll develop understanding of core musical concepts such as pulse, rhythm, pitch and melody. Children will learn aural skills, technical control, notation and communication skills, and develop creativity as they learn to express themselves through music.  

Each class involves lots of singing, as well as playing percussion instruments, composing, and movement.

Learning in this way is perfect for developing a strong foundation in music, setting up children to make fast progress if they later begin learning an instrument.  

The course draws on Kodály and Dalcroze music education methods and has been developed through wide research and extensive practical experience of teaching students from first beginnings through to grade 8 and beyond.

  • Develop musical understanding and creativity which will make learning an instrument more rewarding and enjoyable
  • Refine aural skills, singing, and music literacy
  • Gain confidence improvising and creating music as part of a group
  • Develop expression and confidence performing
  • Have fun making music - and making friends!

Individual progress reports summarise each child's new and developing skills at the end of the term. 


Suitable for beginners, those continuing, and those starting to learn an instrument.


In our NEW COURSE Music Club Band young musicians build on the skills, musicianship and creativity developed during Music Club, to learn to read music, play together and perform each term.
