Co-curricular · Montessori & daycare

Music and Movement, room by room.

Our co-curricular Little Rockers program brings a weekly music class to every classroom in your school, during the school day.

01
Inside your day.
One teacher arrives at the same time each week and runs a short class in each classroom, back to back. No buses, no sign-ups, no change to your routine.
02
Every child, every week.
Each class is 20 to 30 minutes, sized to the room. Children sing, keep a steady beat on hand percussion, move, and take turns playing as a group.
03
We bring the instruments.
A hand-percussion kit comes with the program: shakers, drums, tambourines and more, chosen for small hands.
04
The start of a pathway.
Children learn music the way they learn to talk: listening, copying, then joining in. Music and Movement leads into Junior Jammers in kindergarten and ukulele in Grade 1.

Where it leads

We teach music the way you learned your first language.

Our brains process music much like language. You spoke your first language for years before you read or wrote it, and nobody handed you a grammar book first. We teach music in the same order: play first, read later, so kids make real music from the very first class.

Traditional lessons

Memorise a script

Like an actor learning lines in a language they don't speak: every note is right, but nothing is understood. Students read and repeat, and many stop before they ever play a song they love.

No way to hold a conversation

The Rockstar way

Hold a conversation

Learned like a first language, music becomes something students can speak. They listen, copy, play and improvise long before they read, and the reading makes sense when it comes.

Play in a band
Play songs from the radio by ear
Write and produce their own music

Repertoire, technique, reading and ear training still matter. We add what traditional lessons leave out: composition, improvisation, applied theory and music technology.

01 · Birth – 18 months
Listening
LanguageInfants learn to speak by simply listening to the people around them.
MusicSongs, rhymes and musical games with a caregiver. Children soak up the sounds of music before they make any.

02 · 18 months – Kindergarten
Approximation
LanguageBabies babble, and adults babble back. Mistakes are part of how speech begins.
MusicChildren copy a beat, sing along and take turns on percussion. We welcome the messy first tries, because that's how music begins too.
03 · Grades 1 – 6
Intermediate fluency
LanguageWords become sentences, and children use language to get things done.
MusicStudents play whole songs from the first week, on ukulele and then guitar: chord "shapes", strumming and riffs, learned by playing, not by reading.

04 · Grades 7 – 8
Fluency
LanguageNative-like proficiency: children express themselves freely.
MusicA full Modern Band on guitar, bass, drums, keys and voice. Students improvise, arrange and write their own songs together.
- Modern BandGrades 7 – 8
05 · Grades 9 – 12
Reading and writing
LanguageFluent speakers learn to read, and to put their own thoughts into writing.
MusicStudents become authors. They write, record, produce and release their own music in a digital audio workstation, and read and notate it with real context.
