Founded in 2010, The Music Playground is an Arts organisation located in Melbourne's Western Suburbs. The Music Playground uses music to connect people of all ages, with interactive group learning sessions, music experiences and regular performance opportunities for its musicians. We run sessions for carers and children to make music together.
Children have the option of learning a musical instrument with our teachers from age 3. Our organisation continues to offer group music sessions for older children, where they participate in marimba band, performance practice, music theory and singing skills.

Class Overview
Report
Our curriculum is based on Early Childhood music research and led by qualified, experienced teachers with additional accreditation in Suzuki, Kodaly and Orff methods the three most reknowned ways to teach music to young children. Mixed age classes use play based learning to stimulate imagination and grow musical intelligence through live singing, real instruments, dancing, puppets, rhymes and stories.
Baby Steps 0-12 months
Report
For thousands of years, parents have bonded with their babies through music, movement and rhythm games played on a parent's lap. During an infant's early development, the parent is their whole world, and a baby's early development is strengthened and enhanced by this parental bond. Our carefully selected curriculum teaches parents and babies these lap games that have stood the test of time.
Small Steps 1-4 Years
Report
Suzuki music education is based on the assumption that any child can become highly musical with the right environment, education and effort. The best time to start is as young as possible. During the first three years of life, a child's brain is at it's most receptive to sound. This helps them acquire language.
Playtime 3-6 years
