Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Hello! Join us for a musical adventure full of singing, dancing, and learning all about different kinds of music! Have you ever listened to classical music? How about jazz? Do they sound the same to you? Can you feel the beat? In this class, learners will meet once a week to explore a new type of music, diving into a variety of genres.

We'll talk about how to find the beat, feel the rhythm, and understand the emotions music can express. Along the way, students will also learn basic music theory skills, like identifying notes, rhythms, and simple musical patterns. Whether the music sounds happy, sad, or somewhere in between, we’ll discuss it all—no musical therapy here, just fun conversations about what we hear. Get ready to dance, sing, and discover the joy of music!

Our class is taught by fun, energetic teachers who love connecting with learners through music. It’s all about open discussion and hands-on activities, where learners can regularly interact with both the teacher and each other. No experience or prior knowledge is needed—just bring your instruments, your dancing shoes, and let’s get started!
