BEGINNER PIANO COURSES
Allegro Childrens Music courses have been designed to make learning music fun and to help your child develop musical skills, that not only bring the gift of music to their lives, but also have a positive effect on both schooling and personal growth.
Your child will love coming to classes each week, having fun with music friends and enjoying learning to play piano.
Singing is the key for developing musical skills. Children are happy to sing with their music friends. Singing helps in every area of musical development, across all instruments, so your child will be well prepared for the school band or orchestra.
Piano classes run for 45 minutes and generally have between three and eight students in each group.
In class your child will learn:
MUSIC IS BUILT ON PATTERNS
These patterns will be uncovered as your child learns pieces in bite-sized chunks, which they practise at home with Practice Buddy video clips and music tracks.
HOW TO PLAY WITH OTHERS
Playing in class ensembles builds confidence and the skills needed for playing in a band or orchestra. One day your child may even play in their own pop band!
CONFIDENCE & PERSISTENCE
Regular class concerts build self-esteem, confidence and stagecraft.
Why Our Groups Are
So Popular
Confidence & self esteem grows where children learn with and play for others. Parents say that performing in class concerts every couple of weeks in our Junior Keys and Piano Keys courses has often been a game changer for their child.
Progress is quicker
Groups continuously move forward, so it's not surprising that we find students typically progress faster. The momentum that groups have provides a natural motivation to practise.
We learn better in a group.
Research shows that we learn as much from others as we do from a teacher, and we learn best when we are relaxed & having fun!
Some things are just better done with others like...
ensemble playing, the ability to play in time with others is an important skill that pianists often struggle with.
playing games that accelerates and deepens learning is more fun with team mates
singing, the key to developing musical skills. Singing is easier, more collaborative and fun, with others.
Whole Body Learning is more fun in a group.
What is
Whole Body Learning?
Multi-sensory learning has been proven to be the most brain-friendly way to learn. Forte's Whole Body Learning teaching method is a multi-sensory approach, where multiple senses - including visual, auditory, and kineasthetic - are engaged in the learning process.
In our studio lesson children:
Sing and do actions which internalises the learning before moving to the piano. This scaffolds the learning by providing a succession of little wins along the way.
Students remember better, The more neural pathways engaged in learning, the stronger the memory and by
Singing & playing with music tracks and video clips children learn to play in time and follow the music.
Add in plenty of repetition, and your child will thrive.
Current neuroscience research shows that using embodied and multimodal learning strategies helps students learn more efficiently and remember more effectively.
