Redefining Piano Lessons
Our group keyboard program fosters a solid musical foundations through games, movements, song, composition, improvisation, listening and performing.
​
Our curriculum covers the foundations of piano as well as wider musical and literacy skills through appropriate themes that captivates the imagination of the student.
​
Our group keyboard classes are offered according to ages and skill level- Little Keynotes (4 to 6 Years), Storytellers (6 to 9 years), Keynotes Play (10 to 12 years) as well as a teens or older beginners (Connections) or for intermediate to advanced group (Foundations)
“Music Learning Theory” Incorporated
Unlike those ‘traditional’ approaches to learning piano, where students are taught thorough reading at the outset, our approach to teaching is guided by Dr Edwin Gordon’s “Music Learning Theory” where students learn music through audiation (ability to listen and comprehend music) like how a children would acquire language.
​
We encourage different ways and flexibility to learning music rather than focus on the ‘reading’ approach which can be detrimental to the student learning approach.
Cyclical Curriculum, Individual Progress, Flexible grouping
The ‘cyclical’ nature of the curriculum meant that concepts are being reinforced in each term/ workbook, but the thematic approach provides fresh perspective and new ideas being introduced.
​
The repertoire are also differentiated to different skill abilities so that everyone could be involved in learning in their own capacity.
​
If the student has demonstrated a sound understanding of all the concepts taught, he/ she could move to a different level.
Say ‘No’ to high individual music lesson fees
Our group lessons are value for their money. Apart from learning the piano, your child develops other areas of Musicking such as ensemble playing, theory and fun listening activities- something which you may not get in an individual piano session.
​
In addition, you, as a caregiver/ parent will also get an opportunity to learn wth your child as well as some practical tips on supporting your child with his/ her home practice.
