The NRC Early Childhood Music Program is designed to nurture your child’s instinctive love of music.
Our aim is to grow their enjoyment and understanding of music in a playful and creative learning environment. Classes are carefully structured using age appropriate songs, games and movement activities.
The NRC Early Childhood Music department is committed to ensuring that all children have access to the benefits of music education from early in life. More than just listening to music, our mini-musicians will experience music as a tactile, creative, shared and evolving experience. It will trigger their senses, engage their imaginations and welcome them to a new and fascinating aural landscape through which they can create their own adventure!
Music education has many proven benefits for children including developing concentration, listening skills and coordination. Introducing music early in life helps your child develop social and communication skills and build confidence. Our weekly early childhood music classes will lay the foundation for your child’s lifelong journey with music.
As a further enhancement to our Early Childhood Music classes, we have an established ‘Music in Preschools’ program and run professional development workshops for early childhood and primary school teachers across the Northern Rivers region.
