Music is an aural art form and is best taught via the ear. We keep this notion at the core of our teaching method.

We listen to the song, clap the rhythm and sing the melody. Getting a sense of similar patterns that will make it easier to play the song when at the piano.

We like to have a sense of humour when approaching music theory. “Fruity Beats” and superhero characters from our very own comic book help students to learn through laughter. This approach means students learn songs faster because they have a greater connection to the song and storytelling. They learn to relate the sounds they’ve clapped and sung to the written notes they play on the piano. 

Our learning app also helps students to establish an engaging practice routine at home, to solidify what they have learnt in class. 

As students progress onto harder levels, they will be more independent with their music reading, and will have the opportunity to learn cover songs of the artists they love. We then focus on song structure, chord progressions, playing by ear and improvising, as well as introduce songwriting techniques to help them compose their own music!
