Music: Mixed-age
Music lessons tailored to the requirements of a mixed-age setting
How it works
We make teaching music simple with engaging lessons based on popular themes, from animals and festivals to space and superheroes, all supported by teacher videos.
The mixed-age units follow a Cycle A and Cycle B format, supporting the progression of skills for children across the age range.
