EDUCATION PLAN

Music Theory

Music is an art form and cultural activity.  It  is a flow of Sound, organized in measured time. The common elements of music are Pitch (which affects melody and harmony), Rhythm (beat & meter) and  Dynamics (loudness & softness). We Teach Grades 1 to 3 in Music Theory.

Music & Vocal Practical

Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques.  We have a diverse array of Musical Instruments.  We assist with Vocal  & Instrument Training for Beginners & Intermediate students, in a live, practical environment.

Music Performance

The word "Music" derives from a Greek  word  meaning "art of the Muses", based on nine mythical, creative women.  We encourage our students to attend live Musical Performances & appreciate the Group Dynamics of Music.

Recording

We give our students opportunities to Record their Voice or Instrument of choice in our Sound Studio.

Improvisation & Song Writing

Musical improvisation is the creation of spontaneous music, often within a pre-existing chord progression.  We aim to encourage  our students in Improvision & Song Writing.
