Our Kindermusik Our Time encourages your little one to be creative, to initiate their own ideas and to respond in their own ways, while your active participation gives them the security they need. In this age group children and adults all attend the class together for the full 45 minute lesson.

As you play instruments, sing, move, and explore, you’ll uncover an engaging musical world while building your child’s confidence and communications skills.

For your toddler, every day brings new discoveries and opportunities to explore the world around him. Despite your toddler’s seeming independence, he still longs for the safety and security of parental closeness. During this time, your toddler still relishes the comfort of the familiar while also seeking the challenge of something new.

What you’ll experience in class:

• Instrument exploration and ensemble skill development. Your child will explore the physical characteristics and sounds of age-appropriate instruments which will lead them to discover their potential for beat, rhythm, and melodic ensemble playing.
• Vocal play. Through vocal play, toddlers learn to form vowels and consonants, say words and phrases, and imitate rhythm and vocal inflection. In Kindermusik Our Time, vocal play is presented within the context of songs, chants, and activities done in class.
• Exploration Time. Your child will love discovering specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements.
• Story time and early literacy. Listening to stories enhances language and speech development and fosters awareness of sounds, teaches use of language, and sends the message that words and symbols have meaning. The same experiences that help your child learn to read a book also help her learn to read music.
• Movement Activities. Each class provides various opportunities for movement such as synchronized movement, group dances and circle games, and even expressive movement.
• Together Time. Kindermusik is the essence of quality time, allowing you to make the most of the fleeting toddler years and giving you the time and the tools to make music and memories together in class and at home.
• A Community! Flying Fox Studios offers unique facilities for all our classes for children. Not only do we have a fantastic large teaching classroom, we also have a whole community of parents and toddlers just waiting to meet you. Often parents will stay for a play together in our park like backyard play space, or have cuppa and a chat over morning tea in one of our two playrooms.

Every child responds differently to their very first class, and that’s what we expect! Some toddlers may jump straight into the activities with excitement, while others prefer to watch quietly from the sidelines until they feel more comfortable. It’s not uncommon for children to stay close to their grown-up, stand back from the group, or need a little extra reassurance.

It’s important not to mistake a lack of participation as a sign that they’re not enjoying the class or they are not interested—it’s simply part of their process of adjusting and taking it all in at their own pace. Trying new things often come with big emotions, and that's ok!

The class is designed to be supportive and flexible, allowing children to participate when they’re ready, and have found their safe space. Over time (usually 2-3 weeks) most toddlers grow in confidence, begin to join in more actively, and form really positive connections with their teacher and classmates. And from there the learning and fun begins!

Flying Fox Studios has been proudly running Kindermusik in Everton Park since 2006 (and years before that based in Enoggera).

Our studio has been designed with families and young children in mind. Our facilities include a parents kitchen, lounge room, backyard play area, internal bathroom, change table, high chair, microwave, and comfortable couches to feed bub on.

We are a family with children ourselves, and understand juggling the demands of young children can be tough sometimes! For this reason we offer a flexible make up class policy, and a friendly community minded atmosphere.

A Kindermusik class is a wonderful opportunity to spend a concentrated 45 minutes playing / singing / dancing with your baby, without the distractions of the fast paced outside world. All children and parents are welcome to come along and join us.
