The basics about DO RE MI time
DO RE MI time is run by local musician, teacher and mum, Rachel Greenwood. Classes are held in Dorchester, Dorset on Thursdays and Fridays. The sessions are child-centred and fun, and encourage children to find their own voice. This is not a franchise but a system of learning based on the Colour Strings and Kodaly methods. These classes follow schemes of work and lesson plans put together by Pauline Bishop over a span of 20 years, and adapted by their new 'owner' Rachel Greenwood.
Classes focus on both grown up and child enjoying a musical experience together - we sing, dance and play together. I use some simple signing which the children can pick up from a very early age. My puppets and cuddly characters weave stories for the children to enjoy, use their imaginations and join in the role play.
I am currently running six mixed age 0 - 3 classes on Thursdays and Friday mornings.
