What we do!

Throughout a 45 minute class, the teacher engages the attention and excitement of the children and their carers by delivering this unique program with body movements, creative props, small equipment and untuned percussion instruments. The core structure of music, massage and relaxation pave the way to many learning outcomes. Many traditional and original songs are used while capturing the excitement and natural love of music in the hearts of our harmony children. All classes are age specific and kept to a maximum number to ensure an intimate and personal class environment.

We Are A Creative Music Appreciation And Life Skills Program

The Structure of the program has three core elements

Music Music soothes the soul. It allows us to feel emotions and find our inner beat and rhythm. Learning music at an early age gives children a passion for fun, adventure and movement. We Lay the foundations for music in a professional and creative environment, designed for specific age groups to ensure that your child is given every opportunity to learn and grow. Our philosophy is - ‘Children learn through play’. It is with great delight that we give parents and children the opportunity of experiencing many different percussion instruments and many different ways of bringing music to the family unit. We believe that children learn music and life skills through feeling, expressing, and exploring. These three key elements are instrumental throughout our program. Kids in Harmony’ was created to inspire a new generation of children in becoming confident and loving little music makers.

Massage Massage communicates love through touch. Massage teaches respectful touch and the children can learn in a safe and nurturing environment. The Massage in class is creative and age related. Regular massage contributes enormously to your child's physical, emotional and mental development. It is the powerhouse of all bonding mediums and can be enjoyed by the entire family. Massage allows us to understand the true meaning of – ‘giving is receiving’. We also introduce an element of fun and creativity with textures, rhymes, music and story telling.

Relaxation We would like to think that children have an immunity to stress at such a young age. However with a combination of today's frantic lifestyle and a changing world, children have as many stresses as adults. Teaching basic relaxation techniques to your child is one of the most important things you could do. Relaxation does not have to be complicated or sophisticated it just needs to be learned. We aim to do this through repetition and relaxation songs and music. This segment is our most challenging for all ages and it is also a skill that many adults find challenging. Repetition is the Key.  Yoga influenced exercise are performed and enjoyed within the Harmony program.

The Harmony children break into age specific classes

Babies in Harmony break up into two classes

Kids in Harmony break up into a variety of classes, this may be different in other centres

12 Months – 18 Months

This is the discovery age where exploration and expression are top prioriety. The class is full of fun and adventure, it is very important to remember that our little walkers need a lot of help to participate, as well as is given a lot of freedom to move. Your child the opportunity to begin their music classes as little people. “They will love it”

18 Months - 2 Years

In this age group you will notice that repetition is very rewarding. Your child will participate more within the class and begin to master newfound skills. They will replicate what they learn at home and this will delight you and your extended family members to no end.

2 Years – 3 Years

This is an exciting age. As your child’s listening skills become more developed you will be amazed at their ability to participate. You will just love the fact that your child is starting to understand musical concepts, and just as important relaxation exercises. At this age your child will start to become more independent and as parents we start to expect a little more from them. It is very important to remember that they are still getting to know themselves. We start to incorporate yoga influenced moves.

3 Years – 5 Years

At this age musical expectation is much higher than any other age group. We further challenge their listening, thinking and movement skills. At Kids in Harmony we not only lay the foundations of music but we help to nurture in children a belief in themselves and a strong sense of who they are to assist them in moving confidently to the next step in their life. Relaxation is performed in more challenging ways and the yoga-influenced moves are widely expressed. The children learn to give and receive massage. This age group thrive on new activities as well as perfecting what they already know.
