Introduce your little ones to the marvellous world of music in a disco drumming adventure that is imaginative and hands on, embracing sensory learning elements, movement and play.

Set within John Prince Siddon’s major new solo exhibition at Cement Fondu, Disco Dreamtime Drums, we’re excited to welcome Amelia Murray-Long and Leah Bokey-Grant from Mini Music Adventurers to host a drumming and disco-themed kids workshop on Saturday 13 April from 2-3pm. Expect lots of fun as you adventure into the world of beats and rhythm whilst listening to and playing music, dancing and singing, and getting up close with feature instruments.

Each Mini Music Adventurers Class is designed and written by Amelia and Leah, both mums of little ones and classically trained, tertiary qualified musicians from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Amelia completed her Bachelor of Music (Hons Class 1) at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music majoring in oboe performance. She has taught oboe at high schools around Sydney, and has also taught piano privately. As well as her Mini Music Adventurers classes, Amelia currently teaches music classes at a primary school. After her music studies, Amelia went on to obtain a Juris Doctor from Sydney University and become a lawyer. Amelia is also an accredited mediator. Amelia is passionate about providing accessible music education to children of all ages.

Leah completed her Bachelor of Music Studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music majoring in Violin. Leah has taught violin privately and played at numerous private special events as a violinist. Leah went on to complete a Masters in Occupational Therapy and has many years’ experience working in roles as an occupational therapist supporting children and their families in the community. Leah is passionate about bringing the joy of classical music to our next generation of kids and their parents, knowing the formative social, emotional and cognitive benefits that exposure to music has for the developing child.
