Our students start from learning how to read the notes on the stave (Note names, note values and rests, cleffs, tempo and time signatures, dynamics and accents), and as they progress, they learn all different Major and Minor (Melodic and Harmonic) music scales, and even how to notate scores for drums.

Even from the first lesson, our students get started with learning how to play on the keyboard. Our students start from developing the correct body posture and finger placement on the piano and learn to read and play music from written notation. The music theory and harmony that is taught is directly put into practice. At the same time our students are having fun learning to play popular songs, which progressively become more and more challenging, throughout the course. Our students that way develop their playing and reading skills, as well as their compositional skills.

During the harmony lessons, our students learn how to build chords, they learn all different types of chords (Major, Minor, Diminished, Augmented and 7’s) and how to use them to build chord progressions for the construction of a song.

During this part of the course, students learn how to develop their Orchestration and Arrangement skills. They accomplish this by learning all different chords and by combining them to build chord progressions. Based on the harmonic structure that they have built, they will then learn how to create melodies. They will also learn to listen and analyse chord progressions and the structure of popular songs in various musical styles and in particular the electronic musical styles.

In this part of the course, students study the various attributes and characteristics of different instruments (such as Drums, Electric Guitar and Electric Bass) and examine their role in a song according to each musical style.

Listening and Practical training helps our students develop their musical analytical skills, which in turn helps them identify important musical elements in a song, such as song structure, orchestration, melodic and harmonic structure and development. Oral training in combination with practical exercise on the piano further supports our students to develop their compositional skills.
