MOZART MUSIC

Mozart Music Mouse (Since 1997)

Mozart Music Mouse and a qualified music teacher will visit the school every week to present a wonderful music course. Currently, children in more than 10 schools are taking advantage of this popular music education program. Pupils will receive a music diploma at the end of the year.

Aim:

So that the pre-school child can develop a love and awareness for music. This will form the base for formal training in music (piano etc) in years to come. The course is mostly classical, but other types of music will also feature. The children learn in a relaxed and playful manner to discover and enjoy classical music. Classical music stimulates the child to develop better concentration. Emotional-, social-, intellectual- and motor skills will also be developed, which will contribute to a happy, positive and balanced child.

Mozart's classical works are specifically suited to stimulate the mind and facilitate learning. This is dubbed The Mozart Effect.

Lessons will consist of the following:

• Time and rhythms
  Your child will learn to understand music notes on paper and to play from a score.
  
  
• Singing
  We sing songs while dancing or playing oninstruments.
  
  
• Movement
  We move our bodies to the rhythm of the music and learn a dance.
  
  
• Orchestra (Percussion)
  We play on instruments like the triangle, bells, shakers, sticks and the xylophone.
  
  
• Music Stories
  All music is presented in story form
  
  
• Aural Training
  We learn about the sounds of different instruments and the sounds of various musical styles and do listening exercises.
  
  
• Creative Activities
  We stimulate musical creativity by dressing up to the music and play musical games.
  
  
• Listening to music
  Classical music (90%), other popular music (10%)

CLAY PLAY

What is Clay Play? Pottery classes for children to consolidate learning and stimulate development.

Working with clay as a satisfying 3-dimensional medium encourages developmental progress in many areas. Besides learning a new skill, the young potter becomes part of a process involving listening skills, concentration and planning.

Further benefits include:

• Improved fine and gross motor control as the child learns to measure and control his/her sense of touch in moulding and shaping the clay
• Emotional satisfaction as feelings of success builds self-esteem.
• Cognitive stimulation as the child measures, estimates and predicts the final outcome.
• Numeric concepts ie constancy of mass, even when shape changes, are fostered
• Learning a life skill which offers balance and pleasure.

About the teacher:

My name is Daryl Newton. I am a qualified teacher and Potter who has taught for 30 years and run a pottery studio for children. My interest lies in introducing children to the medium of clay, teaching new skills, encouraging creativity and building a positive self image. I am assisted by my two pottery assistants Louise and Rachel. Together we form the team which works at nine schools in the Northern suburbs.

Class times and fees:

Classes at Kenridge take place on two days of the week. Mondays for the Pre-Primary child at Pixies Playschool from 12h45 to 13h25. More recently we have introduced a second group on the same day, from 13h40-14h20.

On Tuesdays classes take place in the Technology Room and cater for Grade 1 and 2 at 13h00-13h40 and 13h40-14h20. Grade 3 and up come from 14h30 to 15h15. Everything the children make, I fire and hand back at a later date. Projects for this first term include a garden tortoise, a berry basket, a candle holder, an owl pot, a watermelon pip pot, a study in miniatures, a guinea fowl and a pizza slice.
