The Con for Kids

The Program

The Con for Kids is designed to help children between the ages of 3 and 10 engage with the exciting world of music. Structured classes are presented in a challenging but non-competititve environment which encourages the development of artistic expression and creativity.

Based on the Orff-Schulwerk approach students will be introduced to music using singing, imitation, movement, playing, improvisation, story-telling and listening. Students in Levels 1 & 2 will learn basic musical concepts such as pitch and rhythm, helping them prepare for formal musical tuition. Older students in Levels 3 & 4 who may already be learning an instrument will be able to consolidate and build on their instrumental learning.

Teaching takes place in the Conservatorium’s historical Macquarie Street buildings on Saturdays. Students enrol for 12 week blocks of teaching and each level is completed in approximately 24 weeks.
