Tangerine Program

Developed for Orange Tree Music by Eden Dubinovski

Why choose music for your toddler's development?

For children aged 2-5, crucial developmental changes occur in language, emotions, social awareness, and motor skills. At Orange Tree Music, we use music to support these key areas.

Our program aligns with childhood brain development stages, engaging all parts of the brain simultaneously, promoting language, numeric, and social skills in toddlers. We blend movement, colours, rhymes, and numbers to transition from the Sensorimotor stage (1-2 years) to the Preoperational stage (2-5 years).

The Lessons

As a parent, you’ll actively participate in 30-minute sessions, as research suggests a child’s emotional and intellectual development may be negatively affected in unfamiliar environments (Muchlenburg, 2009, p.2). Your involvement reassures and emotionally supports your child, ensuring they feel secure in a new setting.

This program empowers you to guide your child in absorbing and consolidating new information from their surroundings.
