Early Childhood Music
ECM is a welcoming music program for children aged 0–5 and their families. Through singing, dancing, playing instruments, and moving together, children build important life skills that support their development now and into the future. These include listening and paying attention, taking turns, sharing, following instructions, expressing emotions in healthy ways, and building confidence in social situations.
Music also helps children strengthen their memory, develop early language and communication skills, improve coordination and balance, and spark their imagination and creativity. These playful sessions support early brain development while helping children feel connected to others and confident in themselves.
Run by experienced educators, our program is based on the Australian Early Years Learning Framework, ensuring your child’s growth is supported in a warm, engaging, and age-appropriate way. Come share the joy of music and movement, where learning feels like play!
