Some of Melbourne’s hottest musicians are exposing kids to the magic of rock and roll through Kiddyrock. The program, which visits kindergartens, early learning centers, and community halls in Victoria, is the brainchild of Ally Spazzy of girl punk outfit The Spazzys.
“Kiddyrock is a brand new project where a load of artists and musicians have come together to create accessibility to alternative music for kids as well as create opportunities for local musicians to continue working in music, in what they love,” Kiddyrock’s Georgie Carpenter explained to Undercover.
“We’re not going to teach anyone how to play the guitar or how to play a drum, but we are going to expose them to some of the artists that we loved, and help them develop an ear to enjoy music in the way that we do.”
The workshops help kids aged between three and six develop a love and understanding of music. They’re also a lot of fun, with the tots getting the opportunity to jam with Ally Spazzy, Shaun Gionis from Trial Kennedy, and Richard Walsh from The Electric Guitars.
The sessions cost $17 per child, or $15 for groups of four or more. If you want to take your youngsters along, check out the KiddyRock website for a list of upcoming workshop sessions.
