BEEBOPPER

Beeboppers programme starts with the premise that learning music should be fun and exciting, and your teacher introduces the fundamentals of music to your little one through singing, dancing, games, craft, and a whole range of other activities designed to keep them engaged and active while they’re learning. They’ll develop their skills in beat and rhythm and pitch and harmony and build their confidence and performance skills.

Beeboppers is designed as a precursor to the International School of Music Junior Music program for ages 4+, which builds on the skills developed in Beeboppers and introduce your young musician to playing the piano. Beeboppers graduates excel in our Junior Music classes, and we try and keep classes together where possible, meaning your little one is making friends and enjoying playing music together!

You and your Beebopper will always be warmly welcomed by your class teacher, and each class starts by singing the Beeboppers Song. Then, your teacher will create music magic with you both. Each week is based on a different theme, for example trucks week, circus week or instruments week.

You will sing lots of songs, mostly from Beeboppers’ unique collection of original songs written specifically for this course and based on the weekly themes. You will be able to download all these songs to sing at home. There are also plenty of dances to learn – we usually find your little one will be able to teach you the actions after a few weeks!

The class always loves to play percussion, and we have a wide variety of instruments for your child to love and to master, played to songs they’ll know and love, as well as famous pieces of classical music to introduce your child to new sounds and ways of listening. Your child will learn the basics of music notation, and there’s plenty of opportunities to clap, drum and sing. Some of our classes even compose their own songs!

Each Beebopper gets a wonderful Beeboppers book, filled with fun activities for you and your little one to complete together. At the end of each class your child will get a sticker in their book, and everybody sings the Beeboppers ‘Goodbye Song’. Then it’s time to go home, which is harder than it sounds – with so many exciting activities packed into forty-five minutes, our Beeboppers usually don’t want to leave!

After the Beebopper program, children can proceed to the Pianorama Junior Course. Our Pianorama courses teach piano and musicianship skills to children from four years old in an interactive group environment. Working through Junior, Intermediate and Extension levels, they participate in a variety of activities each class.
