MUSIC & MOVEMENT WORKSHOPS
For PRESCHOOLERS
MAKING MUSIC A MULTISENSORY EXPERIENCE
Motion is a child’s first language and sensation is their second. Only when the two are fully integrated (sensory motor integration) does a child have the foundations for learning. Introducing games, songs and rhymes using ribbons, parachute, scarves, and beanbags. Activities in this workshop will encourage sensory motor integration, eye tracking, motor timing skills and fine motor control. BACK TO TOPICS

YOGAPlay and RELAXATION for Young Children (3-8 years)
For teachers interested in introducing the benefits of yoga into a classroom setting with 3-8 years. Yoga poses & sequences can be a playful, non-competitive way to aid children's need for strength, flexibility, balance, co-ordination and relaxation.

BRAINDANCE (0-8 years)
Motion is a childs’ first language & the more eloquent he or she becomes in this language, the quicker they develop powers of expression, exploration & development. BrainDance describes the eight movement patterns humans move through in the first year of life to wire the central nervous system. We will revisit these movement patterns to music, to assist brain function & promote learning for young children. BACK TO TOPICS

Using action songs, simple dances and percussion ideas, this workshop builds confidence and skill in playful music making. BACK TO TOPICS
