Each term is independent of the others so kids can enrol for as many as four courses or as few as one course – the work they complete and skills taught at the classes cater for the interests and pace set by the individuals involved at all times reducing pressure and increasing freedom to learn and to create.
With headphones being used at every station of equipment (apart from the bongo drums!), kids can also explore and experiment with their work, self-esteem in tact and confidence at a high until such times as they feel ready to share their ideas with others.
Kids will have access to drums, guitars, keyboards, karaoke equipment, recording software and computer software for the production of digital music, among other resources and musical instruments. Opportunities will be provided to participate as little or as fully as desired. You never know, the next big stars in the music industry may be unearthed before our very eyes.
