Kindermusik by Mini Music Makers

Clarence Park

Cathy has been interested in music and dance for as long as she can remember. She was always encouraged to sing, dance, play instruments and perform from the very beginning. She started calisthenics at the age of 4 when her older sister went to classes and much to her parents astonishment and delight she absolutely shone as soon as she stepped onto the stage. Her love of dance continued. She started classical ballet training at the age of 8 and studied Ceccetti method completing all exams to Advanced level. Throughout these years she learnt tap dancing and contemporary dance also. In her early 20’s Cathy was asked by her dance school to teach young children tap dancing. She loved planning classes and choreographing dances for the concerts. She was also approached privately to teach music, rhythm and dance to several families of children under the age of 5 and set up weekly classes in one of their homes. Cathy studied Viola and singing throughout Primary and High School. She was involved in several choirs and orchestras and the school musical. When she left school she joined a String Quartet - Silk n Strings which played at many weddings and functions in Adelaide. She has also played in the Holdfast Bay Orchestra. For the past 15 years Cathy has been playing with the String Quartet “Handle with Care”. Cathy discovered Kindermusik when she took her son Matthew along. She loved the philosophy and method so much she trained and became a teacher. She has been teaching Kindermusik now for 10 years and teaches at Clarence Park and Mount Barker. Cathy is thrilled that she can combine her passion and love of music, movement and dance and share this love with young babies and children. She believes every child and adult are musical and loves tapping into this in a such a friendly, happy, fun and nurturing environment.
