Sillybilly Music Mission Statement
1.At Sillybilly Music we will discover and explore the three fundamentals of music. Rhythm, harmony and melody.
2. We will introduce a variety of instruments such as guitars, drums of different types, recorders, tambourines, shakers, pellet drums, glockenspiel, xylophones, bells, saxophones, boom whackers and keyboards, but we will constantly be searching for new instruments to discover and explore.
3. Aside from introducing instruments, we will be concentrating on the most important instrument of all, the voice, because it is freely accessible to everyone, and all music training should begin with singing.
4. We believe that Music is a language, and like any language introduced to a Child at this early stage, it will be soaked up and processed like all other information.
5. We encourage a love of Music, Rhythm and Instruments, which will stay with your child for life.
