Progression: When students start year 3 (occasionally in year 2 if appropriate), they will have the opportunity to trial and move up into the PCYM Core Curriculum when they, parents and teachers feel ready for this next step.

Ukulele or Recorder

Through Ukulele or Recorder they will acquire
simple skills and fine muscle control
necessary to develop technical proficiency
on an instrument. 

Instruments: Children can bring their own
or borrow one during the sessions.
Instrument will also be available to buy
direct from PCYM.

Many students when they are ready then also start having either an individual or paired 30minute lesson on an instrument. For this age range, recorder and violin can be fantastic instruments to learn which can allow them to progress to any instrument they wish when they are a little older. We have free instrument loan available.

Singing

Singing, rhythm and
movement teach an instinctive connection
between what these young musicians do
with their hands, voices, eyes, ears and
intellect. This sense of connection is the
crucial foundation for learning music.
