Multi-lingual music workshops are a fun way for you and your child to explore basic percussion, movement, singing and musical games together in a relaxed environment.
We will begin with some gentle warmups in a circle, with full peer inclusion so that every child feels equal and included. Next is some gentle singing, moving into fun music ice-breaker games and increasing the musical energy with music maraca, tambourines. We introduce sensory scarves and support children to move to music in the space. Once the tiny dancers start to get tired, we return to our circle and enjoy some more songs to finish the workshop on a musical high.
Facilitated in English and Spanish by experienced Music Generation Educators, Inés Garcia Motero and Emma Lohan, parents and children will leave with a musical pep in their step!
