Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner Level
This class will introduce the learners to the basics of music theory, then guide them to apply what they've learned to write their own song or melody. 

Our topics will include the notes on the treble clef, basic rhythms and how melodies move. Each topic presentation will last 8-10 minutes and include musical examples as well as interactive features like games and coloring. Learners are encouraged to actively participate in all activities. 

The last third of the class is a guided workshop where learners will write their own melodies using the resources provided, then we will take turns sharing them and hearing them performed on guitar, violin or piano!
