Welcome to Upbeat!

Upbeat is a 40 week online, anytime, music program for pre-schoolers between the ages of 3 and 6.

We use fun original songs and well-loved tunes, associated with what is being taught each week, to help give children a strong musical foundation.

Tried and tested in the classroom, Upbeat has been updated to suit children everywhere, as an online extra-mural or a home-schooling option.

Now children can enjoy Upbeat with Teacher Antje from the comfort of their own homes!

Upbeat was designed to fit into a typical school year of 4 terms of roughly 10 weeks per term. No matter how your school term is designed, Upbeat can easily fit into your usual extra-mural timetable and is also ideal for home-schooling.
Each lesson runs about 20 minutes and is made up of several short videos making it easy to navigate to favourite songs or to repeat a section.

Once signed up you will receive lesson 2 to enjoy straight away.
A new lesson will be made available each week until the end of lesson 10 (end of term 1).
After a 14 day mini break the next term's lessons will be released one week at a time as before until the end of each term with a two week holiday in-between.
All lessons that have been released will remain available for the remainder of the full year's subscription, unless the subscription is cancelled.

Set aside a weekly Upbeat slot for your child to enjoy their lesson.
It is recommended that the device being used is set up in a landscape position for easiest viewing.
External speakers are recommended but not required.
Instruments are not needed as all those required are easily made from items in your own home
Once instruments have been made it is advised that children have them on hand to use for their future Upbeat lessons.

Our mission is to nurture a love for music in the heart of every child, whether they can afford it or not.
