hey dee ho music offer regular music sessions for babies, toddlers and preschoolers to child care centres, community centres and kindergartens.

Each week is set around a theme (there are 50 different ones to choose from) using traditional children's songs, current pop songs and dances (e.g. The Wiggles and Hi 5) and a selection of original Australian compositions. The curriculum has been developed in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Music and Childhood development, to incorporate the key areas of childhood development - physical, emotional and intellectual.

Basic music concepts are explored each week using simple percussion instruments, action songs and activities. Throughout the activities we also use

  • "Auslan signing"- the Australian sign language of the deaf;
     
  • Musical languages -teaching children simple greetings and songs in other languages;
  • "Sol fa" hand signs to promote tuneful singing,;
  • Spatial awareness and other activities to stimulate childhood development.

Currently we provide a regular music program to over 200 child care centres across Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide and Sydney.

Weekly activity letters are made available to parents via the log in page of our web site. Your child care centre will provide you with the password to access these.
