Music Works Magic
Music Works Magic, established 20 years ago, believes that music education truly is one of the cornerstones for successful life-long learning. Our teaching is based on the philosophy of Zoltan Kodaly. According to Kodaly our first instrument is our voice, and at Music Works Magic we believe that if you can talk, you can sing and if you can walk, you can dance!
At Music Works Magic, we understand that voice is our first instrument and singing in tune trains us to listen and recall the sounds that we hear.
If you want your children to learn to play instruments, it’s vital that they master their first instrument - their voice - and learn to sing in tune. Good musicians always sing.
This process can begin with newborns. We don’t wait until our children are 'old enough' before beginning to talk to them. Babies have musical memory from as young as 22 weeks in-utero. It’s wonderful if children can be surrounded by a community, or group, that can sing together, vocalise and interact through music.

Parents of younger children are welcome to stay and join in. Due to the nature of our live presentation we will ask parents who wish to catch up to do so over tea/coffee downstairs or at a nearby cafe - not in the children's session! We are after all there to make the birthday child’s day special and to create a memorable experience for all the children.
