There's more to music education than your weekly lessons. Our tutors offer ongoing and caring support throughout your journey. Each student is offered an opportunity to join an ensemble or to perform at our year concert.
MUSIC FOUNDATION
Our Music Exploration 1.0 and 2.0 programs create positive experiences to foster the enjoyment of learning and playing music. It's a great place to start learning music!
With a hands on approach, we lay the foundations of music: rhythm, melody and harmony. Students are encouraged to engage with music, using a variety of instruments and methods including their voices!
We have found through many years of experience that students who learn the foundations of music in a group have more confidence to go forward in their learning, and are more likely to be team players. After all, thats what musicians do, they play together!
This course is not instrument specific, although we do expose students to the instruments. Students learn about note values, subdivisions, counting, rhythm, dictation, C major scale, using aural exercises, played by the teachers, or using videos, by playing an instrument.
