When our children are ready to leave the Crescendo classes they will be welcomed into one of the Foundation music classes, which are run at the same centre as part of CamJam.The Foundation class is a self contained group which offers opportunities to play, sing and create music. Keeping the group together over the year enables children to get to know each other.

Once children have settled in, they are offered additional activities including “taster” instrumental lessons on recorder, keyboard, guitar or violin. These are supported by elementary theory workshops where children learn to read music notation. Children may also choose to sing in Camjam Voices (part of the Camden Youth Choir), join a music technology class or join one of our ensemble groups such as the Camjam Band and Samba Drumming Group.
