Edinburgh Young Musicians

by EYM

Edinburgh Young Musicians (EYM)’s youngest classes are for children in their final pre-school year. 

The classes, presented as fun and games, introduce and develop the basic elements of music and aim to nurture and develop each child's innate musicianship, enabling them to enjoy music and to start on their journey to realise their individual musical potential. 

Musical Play classes provide a general introduction to music aiming to develop children’s sense of rhythm, sense of pitch, listening skills, co-ordination and imagination; this is done through movement to music, singing, the use of simple percussion instruments, discussion and listening to live as well as recorded music.

There are separate classes for the two age groups, with up to fourteen children in each pre-school group and up to twenty in each P1 group.

• Pre-school classes last 40 minutes;

• P1 classes last 45 minutes.

  
  

A parent/guardian is expected to attend the pre-school classes with each child for the first few weeks of the Autumn term.

A Bursary Fund aims to ensure that nobody is unable to attend EYM classes for purely financial reasons.

Classes take place at George Watson’s College Junior School, EH10 5EG.
