Sing for Understanding

Are you looking for music lessons for your child and you don’t know where to start? Would you like your child to be more musical and confident? It can be overwhelming for a child to play an instrument and to interpret the information on their music at the same time. I will break down the process into easy steps for you so your child can play the piano successfully. Through simple English songs, your child will physically and mentally understand the concepts of pulse, rhythm and pitch. They will gain confidence in their listening, singing and co-ordination skills so that they can transfer these skills to playing the piano. They will be able to play 2 songs on the piano using up to 3 different pitches on the black keys. Using tools such as solfege and hand signals, your child will gain an aural and physical understanding of pitch relationships, allowing them to sing the notes in  words and solfege with accuracy. They will be able to recognise them on the stave, which enables to read, write and sight sing melodies. This course would be suitable for children aged 8 and up, who has not learnt the piano before or has very limited musical experience.

Requirements It would be ideal if you have a keyboard before starting this course.
