Junior Instrument Program
For children over six years of age
The Junior Instrumental Program is a two year program designed to cater for young students (from age six and up) with little or no previous musical experience.
Tuition is offered in a one hour class (length may be shorter depending on class numbers) in the keyboard studio.
During the first year of the JIP keyboard course children learn to listen, read, write and play music using the keyboard. Thorough training is given, progressing to more advanced music reading, rhythm and written musicianship skills.
The course offers children the opportunity to continue to build on the skills learnt in the first year. Students continue with more advanced reading and musicianship skills, technical competency, improvisation,transposition and aural training.
