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)

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!

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.

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.

Barre&Baby is a space for people to bring balance back into their lives using the beauty of dance and movement. From both a physical and mental point of view, dance can be strengthening and liberating. Every step of Barre&Baby has been designed to improve pregnancy and postnatal wellbeing. By involving everything from fingers to toes, we’re aiming to create space, improve circulation, strengthen the body and increase flexibility. Greater body awareness leads to better posture and alignment (crucial to avoiding aches and pains) and empowers mums to trust their body’s signals (so useful during pregnancy and birth!).

Students work with a broad range of media from printmaking to sculpture in order to broaden their skill base and understanding. Every stage of the design process is documented through drawings and photographs and students are responsible for editing and displaying their work in their portfolio – an all–important part of the artistic process. There is a strong focus on drawing, which sits at the core of visual language development for children. This is a wonderful opportunity to create a unique body of work that expresses creative identity, develops artistic talent, and generates a portfolio to be proud of.

Our Baroque ensembles are an exceptional training ground for music from the Middle Ages to early 19th century. Young players of recorders, flutes, oboes, strings, piano/harpsichord, viola da gamba, theorbo, lute and archlute are welcome to join our thriving community of instrumentalists who share a love for making Early Music. The Conservatoire also has its own harpsichord, a French-style five-octave single manual. These ensembles offer students of Grade 6 and above the opportunity to play with a wide range of instruments in a chamber setting. We explore the orchestral repertoire written before 1800 in a historically informed way with mostly one or two instruments per part. The classes are friendly and welcoming, and music is played and enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere. If you are a young musician interested in baroque music and you are grade 6 level or above, please get in touch – we welcome many instruments!
