"Anyone Can Be Taught"

This has been Carrol's motto ever since starting to teach singing. Carrol always felt that singing is merely melodic speaking. This meant, if you can speak, you can sing. Carrol has been trained in the Seth Riggs method of Speech Level Singing which means singing like you speak. In addition to the actual technique, a lot of breathing exercises are involved.

Tots and Toddlers Music Classes

  • What is it?

    TotsnToddlers Music Classes is a fun and energetic program specially designed to give children the ability to find, understand and manipulate the natural rhythm in their bodies and to eventually learn how to use it correctly. This will prepare them for advanced music classes like piano, singing, guitar and so on.
     

  • Teaching devices and method?

    Various types of instruments such as drums, triangles, bells, castanets etc will be used in the process of teaching. Although CDs are also used, raw vocals (acapella singing) is a preferred way because children of that age listen and imitate better this way. Songs of different genre and languages are used to promote language development and style versatility in each child. Remembering, every child is an individual who will learn to love and understand music in his own way and most importantly his own time.....

    Singing, rhythm recognition and dancing are the focal points of this program. Children will manage to achieve all this through singing, games, pretend play, vocal play and instrument play (including the bongo and keyboard).
     

  • What do they get out of the program?
    • vocal rhythm
    • timing - fast and slow
    • body rhythm
    • volume - loud and soft
    • long and short notes
    • high and low notes
    • fine & gross motor skills
    • speech development
    • language development
    • emotional development
    • instruction and task management
    • rhythm management
    • labelling movement
    • listening skills
    • spatial awareness

    • skills mobility
    • inhibitory control
    • body awareness
    • mapping skills
    • counting skills
    • colour recognition
    • ..and more...

    So apart from learning how to sing and dance, children will be walking away with all the essential skills towards better performance not only in school but in their everyday lives.
