This course is aimed at students with no previous experience in piano tuition. The focus primarily is to teach the piano as a practical instrument, whilst simultaneously developing strong aural and theoretical skills. Teaching in a group environment for this age is particularly beneficial from the learning perspective, as the students enjoy learning together and aspire to reach standards set by one another. With regular home practice, the students fly through this curriculum and can feel progress from the early stages, which in turn encourages them to continue through to more advanced levels.

The course includes:

A comprehensive musical education develops not just the technician but also the musician!

• Aural – to develop a musical ear both melodically and rhythmically.

• ​Finger Gym  – to develop technically.

• Theory – consolidation theoretically of music and rhythmic notation and additional music elements.
