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.
