Music Classes for Primary Piano

 Offering an engaging multi-genre approach to piano and musicianship, our Primary Piano classes follow the expertly developed Encore-on-Keys Primary Series which is streamlined to help your child achieve more in a shorter time frame.

Building upon our revolutionary Listen-Sing-Play-Read-Write approach to accelerate learning, our Primary Piano classes will help your child build an excellent foundation for piano whilst developing their general musical intelligence.  Utilising a unique whole-pattern method to result in faster learning, students become skilled musicians. This holisitic course develops well-rounded musicians as opposed to students who just read and play.

Multi-sensory teaching strategies ensure that all learning styles are well supported.  The learning sequence is carefully structured to cater to the 7-10 year old age bracket utilising pieces from varied genres to create learning which is stimulating, FUN and ensures students achieve to their full potential.

Our contemporary and multi-genre Primary Piano classes involve:

• Piano playing with emphasis on correct technique
• Repertoire pieces – multi-genre solo pieces including classical, baroque, waltz, rock, pop, & jazz
• Technical exercises & games to develop dexterity & reinforce finger patterns within an engaging setting 
• Singing & aural training to foster pitch and to build an aural library of melodic patterns to accelrate learning
• Fun percussion exercises to internalize rhythm, develop two-handed coordination & rhythm reading skills 
• Keyboard harmony, including chord playing skills, transposition & improvisation
• Group games to nurture note reading and to reinforce theoretical concepts within an enjoyable format
• Ensemble playing  to develop part playing skills and to teach students how to interact together musically
• Performance opportunities to grow confidence.
