Early Learning Drama & Movement Classes

If you are looking to bring in drama and movement classes into your school or Early Learning Centre, then join the growing number of classes in Sydney! We can provide weekly classes or incursions themed to mirror in-class learning or interests.

Why choose First Notes?

At First Notes Music, our Drama and Movement classes are where imaginations run wild and little ones discover the power of storytelling, play and creative expression.

Every session takes children on a brand new adventure — escaping to a Winter Wonderland, becoming brave firefighters, caring for patients as little doctors, buzzing through a garden as bumblebees, or embarking on a wild safari. Every world is carefully crafted through role play, props, movement and guided imagination.

And while the children are busy having the time of their lives, they're also building real skills — confidence, communication, self-regulation, motor development, empathy and so much more.

Our classes cater for children aged 6 months to 5 years, with every activity thoughtfully adapted so that every child, from babies to big kids, can participate and shine.

Every program includes:

All props supplied — no preparation needed from your team
Age-tailored sessions for children aged 0–6 years
Qualified, WWC-checked teachers who are passionate performers
Original and changing ideas to support children's growth such as: Heroes of the Community (Fire Fighters, Doctors), Winter Wonderland, We're Going On A Safari
Incursions can be designed to complement your centre's curriculum and current interests

A Note from Reddam ELS Principal:

At Reddam Early Learning School, we are incredibly fortunate to have Nick and his team from First
Notes delivering our Music, Dance and Drama program for children aged 1 to 6 years coming up to
a decade. Nick and his team bring an infectious energy, creativity and professionalism to every
session, creating engaging experiences that support children’s confidence, self-expression and love
of the arts.

Nick and his team have a remarkable ability to connect with children across all age groups. Their
sessions are thoughtfully planned, developmentally appropriate and inclusive, allowing even our
youngest learners to participate meaningfully while extending and challenging our older children.
Through music, movement and dramatic play, children are encouraged to explore rhythm, coordination, imagination and emotional expression in a fun and supportive environment.

We consistently see children eagerly anticipating Nick and his team’s classes, confidently participating, and carrying their learning into the classroom through song, movement and role-play.

They are a valued part of our community, working collaboratively with educators to align their
sessions with our curriculum and philosophy.
Nick and his team’s passion for early childhood education and the performing arts is evident in every
class, and their contribution greatly enriches the learning experiences of our children at Reddam Early Learning School.

Dean Kelemen, Principal

It is my pleasure to share my appreciation for Nick and his curriculum. I have worked professionally with Nick for over five years. Our children adore him and they ask most days, "Is it Music day today?". The interactions with each child are inspirational. The children respond well to his teaching methods and the lessons are fun, full of laughs and movement. Nick's lesson plans are engaging and interesting, Nick plans for his lessons to correlate with our termly provocations and interests.

He engages with the children in an authentic manner, getting down to their level and making each child feel comfortable during his lessons. I have observed Nick understanding each child's capabilities. Nick tailors his lessons and one to one interactions to build each child's self confidence and individuality.

Nick is an invaluable member of our teaching team.

-Jane, Educator

Nick is not just a teacher; he is a musical mentor who transforms each lesson into a journey of discovery and joy. He has a rare gift for making music come alive, captivating even the most hesitant young learners with his infectious enthusiasm and boundless patience. Nick combines expertise with a vibrant enthusiasm that captivates children – even the younger ones – to participate in his classes actively. Our children have flourished under his guidance, not only mastering new instruments and techniques but also gaining confidence in their abilities and love for music. From the moment Nick steps into our classroom to the end of the class, the children can’t help but jump, dance, shake, and smile with joy.
