This class will teach children how to read the first three notes, C, D, E, on the treble clef and associating them with solfege hand signs, numbers and colours. We'll play games, sing and play the piano together! We will also explore the songs with these three notes, singing in solfege, playing them with our right hands and composing our own melodies! Songs with these three notes include: Hot Cross Bun and Merry had a little lamb. Colourful music scores will be sent to parents before class starts.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello families, my name is Karen, children usually call me Ms Karen. I have been teaching Math and Music for more than 15 years.
I have a HBSc., double majored in Pure Mathematics and Music from the University of Toronto, and a Master of Science in Actuarial Science. Throughout my teaching experiences, I mastered the skill of teaching the world-renowned Singapore Math and incorporated it into math games to make Math classes as fun as possible!
As an amateur musician, I have been performing and playing in rock and pop bands since high school! I have a classical and pop/rock music background (G10 Piano Royal Conservatory of Music and Professional diploma in Vocal Styles from Berklee).
I also have experience in teaching piano, singing, and music & movement in private settings and music centres.
Some research finds that music can enhance mathematical skills because Music targets one specific area of the brain to stimulate the use of spatial-temporal reasoning, which is useful in mathematics. I hope my knowledge and teaching experiences in both subjects will bring your child the joy of learning and the beauty of the connection between Math and Music.
