Early Childhood Music @ the Con

Gunnedah Conservatorium's early childhood music program is a wonderful introduction to the world of music for children and their families. The program develops music skills that include:

• singing
• listening skills
• Promotes movement
• musical memory
• playing melodic and non-melodic instruments
• improvisation
• Musicianship
• Composing

Learning takes place in an environment that is play-like and fun. Every child has the opportunity to take a turn unless they choose otherwise. Children are encouraged and supported in their participation. The children are encouraged to play, sing and dance.

Preschool classes (3-4 years, 4-5 years) 

Children attend these classes on their own in small groups of 10.  The program builds over two years and provides children with an opportunity to foster musical skills, including singing, listening, dramatization, playing untuned percussion instruments and improvisation.

Poco a Poco (School Stage 1: 5-8 years) 
The Poco a Poco program is designed for children in Years K-1-2, offering an engaging introduction to music through songs and games. It focuses on developing skills in pitch, rhythm, concentration, and coordination, while helping children discover their singing voices. Participants will sing in unison or rounds, engage in simple movements, and explore both melodic and non-melodic instruments, gaining a foundational understanding of musicianship.

Baby / Toddler classes (from 6 months to under 3)

These classes are designed for children to be accompanied by a parent or other carer. Adult and child participate in the music activities together.
