The Hey Dee Ho music program offers an engaging and educational musical experience where children explore the fundamental concepts of beat, rhythm, tempo, pitch, and dynamics in a play-based setting. Each week, we introduce new themes using a variety of props, puppets, costumes, and percussion instruments, creating a dynamic and multi-sensory learning environment.
Throughout the year, we focus on four key areas: Key Sign Language, multicultural languages, the Kodály (Sol Fa) singing method, and spatial awareness. Music in this context supports the development of fine and gross motor skills, visual and auditory processing, and cognitive learning. Through regular participation, children engage their imagination and role-play, enhancing their memory, language, and social skills in a fun and interactive way.
