* Enjoy this song as you read this post

The main melody you can hear in this familiar tune is played on the pianica. The pianica is another name for the melodica, a free reed instrument similar to accordions and harmonicas. Pianicas are lightweight and portable, and popular in music education, especially in Asia.

A pianica has a musical keyboard–usually two or three octaves long–and a mouthpiece attached to a hole at the side. It is played by blowing air through the mouthpiece; pressing a musical key opens a hole, which allows air to flow through the reed (mouthpiece).

The pianica is a simple instrument to learn and use. In Bloom School of Music & Arts‘ very own Tutti Tots programme (unaccompanied music classes for 3-4 year-olds), students will learn to develop listening, focused attention, imagination, creativity, and self-expression, and by the end of the course, be able to play simple tunes on the pianica.

Nurture your child’s ability to use language and participate in dramatic play within a music context:

* Group class for preschoolers to attend independently

* Children will experience activities that promote Language, Socio-emotional, Physical, Creative & Musical Development

* Children will be introduced to sequential learning of musical concepts necessary for a strong musical foundation, all done in a fun and stress-free environment
