Group Keyboard & Theory Classes
Duo keyboard lessons are available for younger beginners to facilitate a peer learning environment which provides additional motivation. Students are matched based on age and taught with age-appropriate materials in a 30 minute lesson which maximises concentration.
Why learn in a small group? Group lessons are more fun and motivating for beginners and those in their early years of learning as students have the opportunity to learn from both the teacher, and other students, through listening, singing and group activities. This caters to young childrens' needs for interaction with peers whilst providing individual focus and refinement of technique by the teacher. Musical Keys classes provide a fun start to learning and creating music which lays the foundation for a lifelong appreciation of music.
Group lessons involve:
- repertoire pieces with fun backing tracks to play along with at home
- duets / ensembles to develop skills in playing along with others, and enjoy shared music-making
- rhythm ensembles to specifically focus on developing rhythmic skills while engaging in music appreciation
- finger exercises to develop technique, agility and coordination
- (for younger learners) songs to stimulate the imagination.
Classes are also ideal for students who have previously undertaken foundation courses in music (such as those run by the Yamaha and Suzuki music schools), or those currently having individual lessons, in order to gain the benefits of learning in a group environment. Students are matched into classes based on level and age.
