1. The music appreciation programmes comprise:

• A complete curriculum with manuals, which requires minimal preparation from presenters. Each module runs over a period of six months. Lessons are culture-friendly and speak to the South African child. Each lesson includes approximately 10 activities, depending on the age group.
• Sound material on CD.
• Laminated colour illustrations.
• Percussion instruments, African instruments, recorders, and all the necessary equipment and materials needed for all lessons.
• All material is available in English and Afrikaans.
• Home packages: additional material for the child and parent to enjoy music activities at home.

2. Practical arrangements:

• A minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 children per class.
• Children aged 1 to 6 years can participate in age-relevant programmes.
• Lessons of approximately 45 minutes are presented once a week, directly after or during a school day, at the school or at the presenter’s house.
• Classes coincide with the school terms, with nine lessons per term.
• Parents pay a quarterly fee, as well as an annual registration fee to cover administrative costs.

3. How do you benefit from this concept?

a. Advantages for institutions/schools:

• Offering this specialised music curriculum makes your institution more appealing to parents.
• An excellent extra income is generated for your institution.

b. Advantages for music presenters:

• You have the opportunity to own a business, exclusive to your area and plan/manage your own time schedule.
• You can work only 3 to 4 hours a day and earn up to R16 000 per month.
• You are able to choose from different business options to suit your circumstances.
• The focus is on self-realisation and entrepreneurship, which enables you to leave your own imprint on the children and make a positive contribution to the community.
• Jobs can be created if a music presenter is employed by an institution or an additional presenter is employed by a music school owner.

c. Advantages for the child:

• The child’s total being is developed.
• The child is exposed to a specialised music programme, which does not necessarily form part of all school curriculums.
• A love and appreciation for music is cultivated in the child.

4. How can you become involved with the SA Music Appreciation and Development School?

a. A music school can be purchased. The total capital outlay to start offering these programmes can be recouped within a year, after which time the music school will generate an excellent income. Different business options are available to suit your circumstances.

b. Alternatively, a representative of the South African Music Appreciation and Development School in your area can present the music programmes at your institution.

c. Parents who wish to develop and stimulate their own children through music at home, can purchase a home package.

5. If you were to become involved, what should you take into consideration?

• Do you have the natural ability to work with children, as well as experience in the field of music?
• Do you have a high quality portable CD player, your own transport and access to a telephone?
• If you intend to work from home, do you have a room of approximately 3m × 3m available?
• If you need financing from a bank to purchase your school, do you have any proof of security?
• Do you know which area you would prefer to operate in? How many day-care centres, nursery schools, playgroups, pre-primary schools and primary schools are there in that area?
• How many hours do you intend to work and how many children would you like to involve in the classes? What would your income and expenses be in such a scenario?
• How will you benefit from this?
