About Music Starts Here
Music Starts Here (ages 6-8)
This is a fun and engaging 45 minute music programme for children delivered by our expert Tutor. Using singing, movement games and percussion, children will absorb all the elements needed to make a confident, well-rounded musician.
They explore their own musicality, develop language and communication skills, grow in confidence and increase their ability to express themselves, in a supportive and safe environment.
Children will be prepared to naturally progress into further groups within the centre and we will advise parents on a case by case basis and are encouraged to join our 'Intro to Instruments' class in addition when they are ready.
Looking for private tuition with one of our expert tutors? Book a 30 minute instrumental or vocal lesson, to be taken alongside Music Starts Here. Register your interest when signing up for a course.

We regret it is not possible to give refunds in the event of absence as the Centre has to continue paying professional tutors and overheads. GYA Norwich expects as close to 100% attendance as possible, to ensure you develop and get the most out of your membership.
Half a term’s notice is required to stop attending (except in exceptional circumstances). This notice period is required to fulfil obligations to the professional tutors, pay for facilities and to encourage you to be fully committed to the courses chosen.
