Primary Music Course (ages 4-6)
Early childhood is the ideal time to start music lessons. At this age, the ear is at its peak musical sensitivity. Learning music is as natural as learning to speak. The unique curriculum is designed to give your child the best opportunity to develop basic music skills. The creative approach centres on developing the three essential elements of pitch, harmony, and rhythm. This comprehensive music course goes beyond playing the piano, and develops well-rounded musicians through listening, singing, playing and reading.
