Music classes for Children and Adults - Colombo 2

Our courses and lessons cater to a wide range of age groups and interests. Toddlers This is a one-hour group music appreciation program. In these sessions, we develop children’s sensitivity to pitch through introduction to Solfege singing and nursery rhymes. A strong sense of rhythm is instilled in children through body movement activities and rhythmic games using hand drums and percussion. In addition, children are exposed to Western notation using play cards and games. The musical activities in this class are designed to ensure that children internalize basic musical skills needed to learn an instrument when they are a little older.
