Can’t get to our in-person classes? We got you! Our ‘Online Only Membership’ is just the ticket. For just £5 per month (auto-renewing until you cancel) you’ll enjoy access to our library of 20+ Pre-recorded On Demand classes available 24/7 and our live on-line interactive classes broadcast during the school holidays.
Mini Mozart’s online classes will introduce your little one to the piano, violin, french horn, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and cello (among others) with a mix of nursery rhymes and Classical Music.
The classes can bring structure and learning to days spent at home, so if the weather’s horrid and you don’t make it out of the house or your child isn’t feeling so well, you know you’ve done something positive to help your little one’s development.
Each of the 20+ On-Demand classes is based on a different fairy tale, fable, or inspirational role and we use interactive games to teach the little ones about pitch, rhythm and repertoire. You can enjoy the class without them, but if you have a shaker (rice in a jar will do), a lightweight scarf, a favourite cuddly toy and some bubbles knocking around, it’ll help you get the most out of the sessions
Abbey Theatre is situated adjacent to the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans and on the edge of the wonderful Verulamium Park. Classes take place in the theatre’s rehearsal room which located on the far side of the lobby.
