Our lessons put music and creativity at the centre. Through games, songs, movement and piano playing children will develop a musical foundation including:
As the children progress (within the first term or when the child is ready), a tutor book is introduced. At the moment we favour Piano Safari as it develops musical, technical and reading skills in an extremely well thought out and thoroughly researched way. Children learning in this way delight in their music making and are always keen to play. Please do have a look at some testimonials.
- keeping a steady beat;
- recognising and working with different rhythms;
- developing their singing voices through appropriate songs which they will play on the piano by ear and then notate;
- improvising - one of the key elements of learning an instrument is self expression and there is no better way to express oneself than through making up music. This leads to much more expressive playing later on as children have to express themselves through music from the start and can then begin to apply that to music that has been written by others.;
- frequent performance opportunities;
- learning to read and write music.
