             Music Courses and Group Lessons in January 2012

We are very excited to announce to launch of some of our brand new music courses and group lessons. These new courses are designed to be a different experience to our one to one lessons, offering a range of different instrument and singing groups aimed specifically at particular ages or abilities.

Singing From Scratch is a course for adult beginners in the basics of singing technique and practise. Starting on Monday 9th January 2012, these courses will be running on:

Mondays at 8pm; Tuesdays at 7pm and 8pm; Saturdays at 3.30pm

'Rockschool' Graded Guitar Courses cover the syllabus of the 'Rockschool' electric guitar grades, teaching the techniques, theory and practise necessary to sit the graded exams.

Dubut (Children) - Thursdays at 6pm, starting Thursday 12th January                 Grade 1 (ages 12 +) - Thursdays at 7pm, starting Thursday 12th January            Debut (Adults) - Thursdays at 8pm, starting Thursday 12th January

Kick Start Singing is aimed specifically at young children at the beginning of their musical education. It incorporates simple vocal exercises, musical games and fun inspiring songs to develop musicality, aural skills and confidence in singing. Taught in a fun group environment, this course is ideal for children who either want to gain confidence in singing, complement their one to one instrument lessons or to simply enjoy a fun recreational activity.

Saturdays at 1pm, starting Saturday 14th January 2012

Teenage Pop Vocals is particularly suited to older children and teenagers who want to learn to sing modern repertoire and gain useful qualifications, as well as being in a fun sociable environment. The course teaches everything needed to work towards the Grade 3 Pop Vocals examination (London College of Music), including a variety of different styles of singing including pop, rock, jazz and blues, as well as aural skills, musical knowledge and vocal technique.

Monday evenings at 7.15pm, starting Monday 9th January 2012

Recorder Group is suitable for both complete beginners and children who have been playing the recorder for a little while. The recorder is a very popular way to get young children started with their musical training, and due to its simplicity an ideal first instrument.  In addition to teaching the recorder this class will cover music reading and basic aural skills.

Tuesdays at 5:30pm, starting Tuesday 10th January 2012

Group courses are not only more affordable than one to one lessons, but they also provide a fun, sociable, and less pressured environment. Give us a call for more information or to book your place!
