I Like Singing
In this interactive sing-along session, your child will learn how to sing enjoyable songs together with you. With easy yet interesting lyrics, your child will soon begin to develop a love for singing.

Joyful Rhythms
In this section, your child will explore different musical rhythms by playing on percussion instruments and responding to the music rhythmically.

Musical Fantasy
Every child loves a story. We make our tales come alive with a combination of stories, music and pictures guaranteed to leave a lasting impression and develop your child’s imagination.

Teacher’s Recital
A time for appreciation. Each lesson, our teachers play pieces on the Clavinova or piano so your child can listen and learn to appreciate the beauty of music.

Play With Music
This is where your child’s hearing ability is developed. Through guidance, the ability to distinguish contrasts in music is achieved.

Let’s Have Fun by Listening
Children listen to short pieces of music to help them understand various expressions and nuances in music. Through imaginative stories and actions, children learn the differences between soft/loud, low/high, fast/slow and various other musical elements.

Let’s Have Fun with Keyboard
Children play short rhythmic/melodic patterns set to music on the keyboard. This part of the course aims to enable children to play a variety of tones and rhythms concretely through the keyboard. Playing complete repertoire pieces will come in the next Junior Music Course for 4-5 year olds.

Let’s Enjoy Singing
Children develop the foundation for musical expression through lyric singing. Many different styles of music are taught with creative actions that help children become rhythmically and musically more sensitive. Towards the end of the course, children are also taught basic solfege singing (Do-Re-Mi).

Rhythm Step
Children listen and express the unique rhythms of music with their whole body. This gives active 3-yr olds a time and place to move around and enjoy music from within.

Music Appreciation
Children learn to appreciate music through listening to Picture-Card Show stories set to music as well as listening to teacher’s monthly performance.

Lyric Singing
Children learn different styles of music and express them through singing.

Memory Singing by Solfege
Children sing a rich variety of music in solfege (Do-Re-Mi). When these pieces are memorized, an absolute/relative pitch sense is developed in children. This helps children to learn music by ear and be able to reproduce music they hear by singing or on the keyboard. This is an invaluable gift in their life-long journey of music endeavours.

Keyboard Playing
After internalizing the music children have heard and sung, students play on the keyboard to express music concretely through their fingers. Finger strength/ motor skills are developed in this process. A sense of harmony is also developed as children learn how to play chords to match the melody. Children then learn how to play in an ensemble and eventually playing hands together.

Rhythm Ensemble/Rhythm Step
Children learn rhythms through body movements and playing percussion instruments to different styles of music.

Music Rudiments
Children are introduced to the theory of music as well as the basis for reading notes.
