The department boasts a professional standard recording studio equipped with a 32-channel digital desk, TV area and green screen facilities. There are two ensemble rooms for band practice that hold an acoustic drum kit, guitars and amplifiers, alongside electric pianos. Early years Kindergarten music enhances all areas of children’s development including school readiness, academic performance, language development, social/emotional development, gross and fine motor development, and phonological awareness. Activities begin with the basics of music incorporating engaging lessons that are fun and stimulating. Early music education also helps a child’s body and mind work together through movement activities. Music and movement activities in kindergarten help build the overall coordination of the body.
