Open Play-Based Groups
For pre-schools and primary schools
For pre-schools and primary schools that include free-play within their learning environment, we can offer specialist support to facilitate musical play for students, whilst also scaffolding participation for children with additional needs to create an inclusive musicking space. This is an ideal platform for children to work on key competencies and the learning strands in Te Whāriki.

Feedback on our Services
"Emily is very professional."
Emily is very professional and incorporates [my son’s] school and speech therapy goals effortlessly into her sessions. She also attends school IEPs and always has helpful hints!
"She makes music fun."
This is what I thought about working with Emily… It wasn’t just do the A chord on the first fret. She makes music fun. You can play any instrument you want.
