About Mini Movers
Mini Movers introduces real musical ideas — fast and slow, loud and quiet, rhythm patterns — through story-song journeys, games and “choice moments” where children help lead the music.
Best for:
In class
What we do together
Musical opposites
Fast/slow and loud/quiet games that make musical concepts physical.
Story-song journeys
Catching the ferry to Manly or finding kookaburras in the bush.
Rhythm patterns
Longer patterns on drums and percussion, played together as a band.
Choice moments
Children pick the next animal, instrument or move — and lead the group.
Development
What it supports
Every activity has a purpose. Here’s what parents typically notice across a term.
Coordination
Combining listening, moving and playing at the same time.
Turn-taking
Waiting, sharing instruments and leading the group in small moments.
Musical concepts
Early understanding of tempo, dynamics and pattern.
Language & confidence
Story-songs build vocabulary and the confidence to speak up in a group.
A sample class
Mini Movers (45 min)
Every class follows the same comforting skeleton, with fresh songs and weekly themes layered in.
Times in minutes. Activities are adapted on the day to suit the group.
Parent tip
Ask your child what happened in the story-song on the drive home — they’ll love retelling it.
