Hey Dee Ho Music Diamond Valley

All activities in the musical program involve adults participating alongside children. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and non-threatening. No pressure to participate is placed on any child and minimal restriction is placed on children who spontaneously respond to the music. hey dee ho music is a family activity and younger siblings or grandparents are always welcomed.

The program includes music ranging from standard nursery rhymes to more contemporary songs such as those from The Wiggles and Hi 5. All activities are designed to stimulate of childhood development. These include fine and gross motor skills, cognitive development, turn taking (important in the development of developing interactive social behaviour), spatial awareness, listening skills and more. We have also introduced segments on "Auslan signing" and other languages as well as "musical stories" where we teach the "sol fa" to encourage tuneful singing.
