Primary Course (ages 4 1/2 to 6 years):
The ideal time to begin musical training is in the preschool years. This is when a child's sense of hearing is most receptive and the desire for self expression through music is forming. The Primary Course is designed to make the most of this sensitive time in a child's life. The course is carefully constructed for children to learn basic musicianship skills. Instruction includes beginning piano skills, expressive songs, solfege training, preparation for note reading, rhythm, movement, and ensemble playing. One or both parents attend the class, serving as learning partners to their child, both in class and at home. This course provides an incomparable foundation for any future musical direction and encourages the love of music. Upon completion of the four books in this course, students graduate to our advanced course.
