Upbeat Kids
Our Lessons
Our Upbeat Kids music classes focus on developing pitch, steady beat, rhythm, exposure to different instruments, confidence using our bodies in space, story telling and music, attention, concentration, memory and language skills.
How do we do this? This program is developed by Speech Therapist and Music Teacher, Phillipa Nixon-James. With well over a decade of working with children in both the therapy setting and the music classroom, and a Masters Degree in Child Development, Phillipa brings all these elements together in a fun and interactive way for little ones to engage with music.
