For any students who have completed the beginner fundamentals

At this level, students will primarily be honing their piano fundamentals and required skills in depth as each grade will require a certain level of technique. ABRSM syllabus forms the backbone of our lesson curriculum.
In addition to that, our students are constantly exposed to playing non-classical repertoires and other techniques to help develop their musicianship.

For 3 – 5-year-old and above
Taught by licensed, highly qualified Kindermusik specialists, the class uses a multisensory approach towards developing the whole child and teaching early music concepts and skills. 
Children will be exposed to songs and rhymes to develop phonetic awareness and early reading skills.  Using percussion instruments, they will be tapping, clacking and ringing in time with music to improve hand-eye coordination.  This constant exposure to music, focused listening will help to improve skills in following directions. 
Most of all, this sets the foundation needed to acquire innate musical skills needed before they embark on instrumental playing.

Aural training is a fundamental criterion in the development of a complete musician. All music examination boards include aural tests as part of their examination assessment thereby further stressing the importance of this fundamental skill. The ability to incorporate the following skills is just some of the benefits attained when aural skills have been developed:
> Transcribe melodies, and identify minor and major chords by ear
> Sing in tune
> Add improvisations to your performances
> Perform with other musicians
> Compose your own music
> Tune your instrument
We offer aural courses only from grade 1 to grade 8. Crash courses are available for students who want to take only a specific grade as required for their exams.

For any students who have completed grade 8 and would like to embark in a professional course
Upon completion of grade 8, students can continue to pursue a higher level in search for more challenges.
Students can consider taking up ARSM as a way to enhance their performance skills before entering higher education. If not, they can also go straight into Diploma which has more stringent criteria. Whichever path that the student chooses, the course will definitely shape you into a more profound musician.

Theory is the language of music. Just like English language, it has structures, forms and rules to follow. Music too, has its own set of structures, forms and rules.
Music theory examines how music works, its language and notations and the overall structure of how music elements (rhythm, chords, scales, melody, harmony and texture) are pieced together resulting in a complex piece. Music theory is the stepping-stone to playing beautiful pieces of music. Once you are able to read the notations on a score, you are set to learn how to play anything.
