Active Kids
Between the ages of four and Five, this club helps to develop

introduce are fun and challenging and leave all children
stimulated!

Aural
Aural Club is a fun approach to the Associated
Board aural (listening) tests, which are a part of
every graded music exam. This club is for any
musician in Years 3-6 taking grades 1-3. Some
children come just in the term of their exam,
others have enjoyed coming every term to
improve their general musicianship skills. As part
of the club they play games that teach them to
hear the music. We also do mock exams so that all
those who attend the club gain the requisite skills.
