The Preschool and Primary 1 classes are designed to prepare children for learning an instrument. Children in these classes enjoy songs, rhymes and games that develop their musical reading and writing skills, their intonation and pitching, fine motor skills and finger dexterity which assist them greatly ahead of learning a musical instrument. Children who enjoy singing games and rhymes before starting an instrument usually find the transition much easier than those who have not. Once receiving instrumental lessons the children continue to enjoy many of the same songs and games that they have learnt in their preschool classes. This familiarity with the musical material ensures that they are happy and confident learners. Children who enjoy their lessons are much more likely to persevere and want to continue learning.
