Gunnedah Conservatorium and Music With AIM, understand that music education can be empowering for young children. When students attend our classes, they have the opportunity to learn so much more than music! Through fun, sensory and engaging musical activities, children are supported to develop skills in key learning areas such as: numeracy, literacy (speaking, listening and early reading), and social skills like autonomy, resilience and regulation.
We aim to:
Nurture babies at their unique developmental stage, strengthening the bond between child and care giver.
Spark a curiosity for learning in the toddler, supporting them as they develop self-confidence, independence, body awareness, social and communication skills.
Prepare preschoolers for the structure and discipline of the classroom setting, whilst continuing to build autonomy, resilience, self-regulation and ignite imaginations that strengthen learning pathways.
