Music for life

Based in Bolton, England, Musicaliti creates opportunities for your little one to reach their full potential.  From the very first conclusive scientific findings in 2006 on young children (Trainor, Brain 2006), research consistently shows how weekly musical tuition benefits:

• literacy (reading and writing),
• visiospatial processing (creative thinking),
• maths skills (calculations, fractions, algebra, geometry)
• verbal memory (memory for words and verbal items), and
• IQ (predictor of school and career success). 

By preparing little ones from their earliest days for regular, weekly, interactive music sessions, taking up instrumental lessons during primary school and beyond will become a lifestyle from which they will derive much success, pleasure and fulfilment.

Music for all

Musicaliti Babies (accompanied) follows a carefully-planned routine towards music preparation, including experiences of listening, sharing, moving to and creating music, all with a familiar care-giver.

Musicaliti Nursery (accompanied) caters to toddlers and preschoolers and through creative topics, consolidates pulse through the steady beat, whilst beginning to introduce tempo, pitch and note duration through playing instruments, movement and vocal play.

Musicaliti Primary (unaccompanied) uses games and songs to introduce notation values, rhythms and melody, including identifying early pitches (sol-mi) with a view to introducing formal notation reading on various instruments, e.g. woodwind (ocarinas), strings (ukuleles) and keyboard (glockenspiels).

Musicaliti Adults trains adults interested or involved in music education for young cihldren on the last Thursday of each month.  Using techniques from leading musicologists, composers, child development specialists theorists as well as current research findings, attendees will gain confidence in their own musical abilities as well as enhancing their own children's musical attainment.

You'd never believe that the games, songs and dances that each age group enjoys has all this careful planning behind it!

Music for me

• "I can't even sing in tune - so why include me?"
• You, the care-giver, are the most important teacher in a young child's life.  So whether in nursery or in parent-child group sessions, we presume no prior musical knowledge, just the desire to get involved with your child's learning.  So, sing a song, dance a jig, beat a drum - right now, the important thing is the pleasure your child sees you getting from being involved!

Children experience the value of minims through 'swimming' with scarves in our Musolympics after school club.

Suitable for primary children from year 1 and 2, Musicaliti Afterschool is offered to local primary schools, with as much interest from boys as girls!
