Our Early Music Education Program, “Music Explorers” incorporates the method of music instruction for young children developed by Carl Orff, German composer and educator.The spontaneous rhythms children create in their rhymes, chants, and games provide a natural starting point for music development. A progressive development of musical skill, creativity, and aesthetic awareness is achieved through work with the elements of music contained in speech patterns, poetry, song, and movement. A heightened awareness of rhythm and melody is developed through playing recorders, and a wide range of percussion instruments, some with and some without pitch. Our Early Music Education Program develops musicality in a natural and joyful environment, and it provides excellent preparation for other instrumental programs offered at Long & McQuade Education Centre. Through classes children are encouraged to explore and develop the following musical skills:
singing, listening, aural,visual and physical recognition of pitch, playing pitched and unpitched instruments, awareness of and ability to play and sing to a beat, working musically with others and independently, creation and exploration of their own musical ideas, and learning through songs, games, and physical movement.
