For 3-year-olds
About the Programme
TMC’s Early Childhood Music Pathway for preschoolers (2 to 5 year-olds) lays a strong and essential foundation for their first steps as musicians. Our music and movement classes promote a love for music while developing crucial skills such as rhythm and aural development. These classes are also aimed at enhancing physiological-emotional skills such as gross and fine motor coordination, cognitive skills as well as nurturing creativity.
The Tiny Circle (3 year old) class is a 40-minute parent-accompanied class. Each term of TTC is 10 weeks, with 3 terms in total. Parents and their children are welcome to attend a trial class before enrolment.

FAQs
Can my child who is under the age of 3 join The Tiny Circle?
We recommend that each child joins the class suited for their age group. Contact us by filling in the form on the page and provide us your child’s date of birth so we can recommend the most suitable class and lesson timing.
Can both parents accompany our child for the class?
Each child can be accompanied by one parent only to maintain an even parent-child ratio in the studio.
Why should my child start with Music and Movement?
Music education plays a big part in a child’s cognitive, emotional and social development. Beyond nurturing creativity and expression, it also has the potential to influence a child’s psycho-motor development.
Will my child get to learn an instrument in this class?
The classes are designed with your child’s long-term musical progression in mind. Much like learning a language, The Music Circle Method first ensures that students experience a variety of music to help build their musical vocabulary. With more active listening and immersive experiences, the children will be able to progress to singing and verbalising notes and rhythms. These are essential steps to building a strong musical foundation, and are more useful than picking up an instrument when they are not physically ready.
