Sing and Swing

At Sing and Swing children learn through Dalcroze Eurythmics – a successful and increasingly popular method of experiencing music through movement. Learning a new song each week is combined with rhythm and movement exercises which take the body as the starting point and use natural body movements like walk, skip, jog, stretch, to help understand musical concepts such as pulse, phrase, tempo and duration. A creative and very interactive process, Dalcroze can help develop skills such as co-ordination, team work, balance and co-operation, in addition to the musical benefits.

Tuesdays, St Luke’s Church, Cambridge from 4.00- 4.45pm. For children in Reception – Year 2. Cost £6.

Stringmoves

Stringmoves is an exciting project which combines Dalcroze Eurhythmics and the opportunity to learn a stringed instrument within a whole musical experience. We offer violin, viola and cello teaching, and general musicianship training, music theory and choir. Tuition takes place on Saturday mornings at St John’s College School in Cambridge. The aim of the project is to provide children with a good grounding in basic musical skills, a firm technical introduction to string playing, and above all, a fun and positive experience of music-making.
