MUSIC WITH AIM
HOME:
Welcome to Music With AIM. We provide a unique and inspiring music education program for young children. Passionate about supporting and nurturing children’s all-round development through music, we aim to equip children with a skill set that gives them the very best start to their educational journey.
Aim (Amy Schultz) is an accredited and experienced teacher of over 20 years, specialising in Creative Arts Education (Music, Art and Drama). Aim is the Principal Educator and Program Developer at Music With AIM Music School. Aim graduated from the University of Technology Sydney with a Master of Arts Degree. She also holds a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Distinction) and Graduate Diploma in Education.
At Music With AIM, we understand that music education can be empowering for young children. When students attend Music With AIM classes, they have the opportunity to learn so much more than music! Through fun, sensory and engaging musical activities, children are supported to develop skills in key learning areas such as: numeracy, literacy (speaking, listening and early reading), and social skills like autonomy, resilience and regulation.
We aim to:
Nurture babies at their unique developmental stage, strengthening the bond between child and care giver.
Spark a curiosity for learning in the toddler, supporting them as they develop self-confidence, independence, body awareness, social and communication skills.
Prepare preschoolers for the structure and discipline of the classroom setting, whilst continuing to build autonomy, resilience, self-regulation and ignite imaginations that strengthen learning pathways.
