Is there anything lovelier than bringing spring inside with some flowers in a vase or pot? Let's make some of our own! We will use a variety of techniques to make pictures of daffodils and grape hyacinths which both appear at this time of year and herald the arrival of Spring. We will collage a beautiful vase or bowl to put them in.

Dreamy Daffodils & Homemade Hyacinths (3-5 yrs)

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!

Little Maestros (3 yrs)

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.

The Little Art Venture Club (6 mths-2 yrs)

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.

The Little Art Venture Club (2-4 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)

In this class, the children learn basic techniques on this little instrument in an engaging and fun way. Together as a group we explore all the sounds a ukulele can make, as well as strumming open string pieces and plucking with simple chords. We even work together to write our own little pieces of music. Best of all: ukuleles always sound good! This class is the perfect introduction to playing a stringed instrument and starts our developing musicians on their musical journey.

Highly Strung! Ukulele Group (4 - 5 yrs)

Art-Venture club provides a fun packed, stimulating yet informal setting for your child to really enjoy the process and results of creating art. Designed to give your child the chance to explore a wide range of materials and media, the class covers model making, printmaking, puppetry, painting and drawing. All activities are carefully planned to increase visual awareness and above all to stimulate enthusiasm and enjoyment.

The Art Venture Club (6-10 yrs)

Building on the work we do in BYT Juniors classes, students are introduced to the core elements of theatre through storytelling, role play, physical and vocal development and simple script work. Each term we will explore a different style of theatre, so students grow and develop a wide range of skills in both performance and direction.

Blackheath Youth Theatre Foundations (10-12 yrs)

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)

Little Maestros (4 yrs)

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.

Junior Musicianship (5 & 6 yrs)

During this course, we work as an ensemble using theatre games to build rapport and skills with special emphasis on movement, mime, confidence-building and, of course, creativity. We have great fun exploring well-known stories together, working towards a relaxed ‘sharing’ for parents at the end of each term.

Blackheath Youth Theatre Juniors (7-10 yrs)

Our lively Junior Choir has a great time developing singing and musicianship skills and making new friends. We sing in unison and in harmony (with no sheet music-reading required), accompanied and a cappella. New members are always welcome!

Junior Choir (6-8 yrs)

This course is for those who want to discover more about theatre and acting and develop their drama skills. Students are actively encouraged to use their own ideas and given the opportunity to explore their creativity and performance skills whilst working as an ensemble. Employing a wide variety of acting techniques, devised work and scripted plays, the course often culminates in a sharing at the end of the term.

Blackheath Youth Theatre Academy (13-15 yrs)

Come and join our Training Choir and develop your singing and musicianship skills whilst working towards performances. We learn a wide range of traditional, popular and classical music including singing in harmony, accompanied and a cappella.
