YAMAHA LITTLE PEOPLE MUSIC LESSONS


REGISTER NOW FOR JANUARY 2016


Yamaha Piano Centre is proud to provide group lessons for children ages 2-9 through its Yamaha Music School.

The Tunes for Two Course for 2-year-olds uses a variety of fun exercises all with the verbal, social, and physical development of a 2-year-old in mind. We use song singing, fingerplay, and exploration of the keyboard, as well as high/low and loud/soft concepts. Movement to music is also integrated in this course. This course is newly designed to prelude the Music Wonderland course.

Music Wonderland is for ages 3 & 4 children and is a new program designed to prepare children for the Junior Music Course. In this class we are developing listening and rhythm skills through the keyboard, song singing, and music appreciation. We also use materials that are visually stimulating to compliment their growing curiosity.

Junior Music Course is a unique 4 year course for children starting at ages 4 & 5. This program is designed to give your child the best beginning possible for the development of basic music skills. The concept of this program is to Hear, Sing, Play, & Read. Emphasis is placed on ear training and developing musicianship. A variety of activities, including singing words and solfege, keyboard playing, ensembles and keyboard games are all part of the course. We are excited that this year there is also a large focus on parental interaction with your child in the new course material this year.

We encourage all our students to have some type of keyboard instrument. Having the means to practice the concepts being taught in the classroom will only further their development. As they continue their music and the concepts broaden, they will naturally require a piano. The professionals in the Yamaha Piano Centre can help you in selecting the appropriate instrument for you and your child.

New students, please call Elodie Innes at 373-9074 or alternatively Yamaha Piano Centre at 665-0213 for details and to register today.

Returning students please contact Elodie for class times.
