This class is a fantastic way for your learner to begin their journey into music. We will approach music in a fun and practical way that is great for beginners. This course will introduce learners to the staff, treble and bass clefs, rhythm, musical and rhythmic notation, dynamics, and time signatures. Each class will consist of a review of previous material for reinforcement. The class will be interactive and the learners are encouraged to actively participate throughout the class.

Curriculum: Day 1: The musical alphabet, the music staff, treble clef and bass clef Day 2: Rhythm, note values, measures, and bar lines, clapping and counting rhythms Day 3: Rest values, melody, harmony, double bar lines, repeat signs Day 4: Tempo, dynamics Miss Brooke is very patient and is passionate about teaching music to her students.
