Face-to-face classes for 4 year olds
(child must have passed their 4th birthday to start)

I launched this exciting development for Funky Monkey Keyboard Classes in September 2013. The course is specifically aimed at bridging the gap between 'shake, rattle and sing' style pre-school classes & our keyboard classes for 5+ years. Lots of visual, interactive stimulus in the book, but very little writing. Perfect for keen little musicians!

The Course

Green Stage 1
 

10 chapters of fun-filled action, taking your little beginner on a step-by-step musical journey right from the very start! Very little drawing required. We teach the first 3 notes (C, D & E) alongside crotchets, crotchet rests and quavers over approximately 10 lessons.

Blue Stage 2
 

Another 10 chapters of more action-packed lessons, moving on to F & G and introducing the minim and time signature, whilst revising and repeating everything ready for Junior Book 1. Again, very little drawing required. Listening games and quizzes a-plenty to help consolidate and enjoy!

Junior Book 1
 

The children will then move on to the Junior Scheme, but won't need to start from the beginning of Book 1. It will be at the teacher's discretion as to where they start, but normally anywhere between lesson 3 and 6. They will be drawing more now they know more!
