Tots To Teens: Bop to the beat with music classes

Being organised, nailing screen time, and meals for sleep-deprived parents

Getting children involved with music from a young age can have long-lasting positive effects.

MOST children love music. They enjoy bopping to the beat, humming to tunes, and banging drums from a young age. The Mini Music classes offered by the National Concert Hall (NCH) in Dublin aim to build on this natural affinity.

Organised as part of the NCH’s Learning and Participation winter programme, the classes are for children up to the age of eight. Over 10 weeks, they attend hands-on classes led by trained workshop facilitators who introduce them to various percussion instruments and show them how to make music using their voices.
