Friday & Saturday Music Classes

Our long established and very popular Friday and Saturday Music Classes for children aged 4 to 12 take place during term time at St Mary’s Music School.  In a safe and caring social environment, some 150 local children discover the wonders of music, helped by experienced staff, all highly qualified in working with children through the arts. The emphasis is on having fun, while engaging young children in the magic of music making. 

Families find St Mary’s Music School a vibrant and friendly place in which to spend time and catch up with friends. On Fridays our singing classes take place in the Song School at the Cathedral and parents are welcome to stay over a cup of tea or coffee. On Saturdays we run a café for parents during lessons.

For little ones, Dalcroze and Kodály classes begin for children in their final pre-school year and are offered up to Primary 5 (age 9 to 10), according to demand.  These classes encourage children's musicianship and listening skills, nurturing their enjoyment of music and building their confidence.

Musicianship is taught through Dalcroze Eurhythmics. Learning fundamental musical skills through movement is the basis of the Dalcroze Method.
