Drawing Skills is one of the most popular and longest-running children’s art courses at the Conservatoire. It is ideal for students who wish to explore and develop drawing techniques and take their skills to the next level. Students draw both from nature and reference materials as they gain a deeper understanding of representation and expression through mark-making. Students study the work of other artists to help deepen their understanding and expand their visual literacy.

Drawing Skills (9-14 yrs)

At this stage, we begin to build solid foundations for our future musicians. Children start to engage with spontaneous music making, are encouraged to discover new instruments and explore all their different voices. With the help of puppets, musical concepts are gradually introduced. Listening, imagination and fine motor skills are all enhanced, offering developmental benefits beyond music.

Toddler Tunes (18-36 mths)

At this early stage of musical development we focus on the interaction between child and carer. Musical concepts are introduced through play and exploring different sound sources. This lays solid foundations in the brain for the development of speech and language: but above all, music-play helps babies feel happy and connected to the world!

Tiny Tots (6-18 mths)

The Little Art-Venture Club is a great introduction to the world of art. These child-led, exploratory sessions will enable you and your child to discover different materials, textures and art forms in an engaging and stimulating environment. Children acquire new skills on a week-by-week basis and gain more confidence in the vocabulary they use to describe what they see and feel. Activities are kept relevant and interesting by linking classes to seasonal activities and celebrations. You can purchase an ‘Art-Venture sketchbook’ in which all the work your child produces over the course is collected together: this serves as a wonderful record of their progress and a real source of celebration. These are available from your Tutor for £5. Please note, this is not a drop off session and parents and carers are expected to stay and join in.

With their motor skills now developed, children continue to experiment with new instruments while musical concepts are consciously integrated. Music is now introduced in such a way as to support Phase One of the Letter and Sounds national teaching programme. Teaching is also designed to enhance and promote other areas of learning set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage national curriculum. Children will be able to copy and recognise rhythms, improvise their own musical patterns and create their first compositions. Our future musicians are now independent and confident enough to be Little Maestros!

Mixed Media (9-14 yrs)

Come along to the Conservatoire for a creative contemporary dance class for young ones! Together we’ll move our bodies and have fun - exploring ideas, improvising, improving our co-ordination and expressing ourselves through movement. Twisting and turning, young dancers will work together to perform simple sequences and develop their own creativity - we’ll use all our energy and all our ideas! Using the activities and ideas we explore during the sessions, participants will work towards a short piece of movement which they can share informally at the end of term. If you love to move and want to explore a different approach to dance, this is the perfect short session for you - all levels and abilities welcome! Please note that children should come in dance-appropriate clothing, including socks.

This is an ideal class for any Junior Musician, whether they are already beginning to learn an instrument or are thinking of taking one up but do not feel ready just yet. Based on music theory and the KS1 national curriculum, the course continues to explore the concepts that have been set out in other Early Years classes. Children will copy and recognise more complex rhythms, improvise their own musical patterns and explore core skills in rhythm, pitch and musical expression through songs, games and stories.
