Course Description


Join us for this fun introduction to piano! Creatively designed for young children, ages 4-6, this approach combines singing, listening, small and large movements, and learning to play songs on the piano. Sing and Play Piano lays a solid foundation for future piano lessons or instrument study. A piano or keyboard at home is recommended; materials are purchased separately.


Introducing music education at an early age can cultivate a lifelong appreciation and enjoyment of music

Children who are exposed to music from a young age are more likely to continue their musical pursuits and develop a deeper understanding and love for the art form


Teaching music to children between the ages of 4 and 6 can have a profound and lasting impact on their cognitive, social, emotional, and creative development

The "Sing and Play Piano" course is an excellent way to nurture these important skills and foster a lifelong love and appreciation for music in young learners. Teaching music to children provides numerous benefits for their overall development. Here are some of the key advantages:


1. Cognitive Development

Music education has been shown to enhance cognitive abilities in young children. Learning to play an instrument, such as the piano, can improve memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills. The process of learning and understanding musical concepts helps to stimulate and strengthen neural pathways in the brain.
 

2. Language and Literacy Skills

Music and language share many common elements, such as rhythm, pitch, and melody. Exposure to music can help children develop better listening skills, phonological awareness, and language processing abilities. These skills are essential for early literacy development.
 

3. Fine Motor Skills

The coordination required to play an instrument, like the piano, helps to develop fine motor skills in young children. The precise movements needed to press keys and control the fingers can improve hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
 

4. Emotional and Social Development

Engaging in musical activities can foster emotional expression and social interaction. Children may learn to work collaboratively, take turns, and develop a sense of self-confidence and accomplishment through group music-making experiences.
 

5. Creativity and Imagination

Music can stimulate a child's creativity and imagination. Exploring different musical styles, improvising, and composing their own melodies can encourage children to think outside the box and express themselves in unique ways.
