Around the World is our piano preparation course. We continue our musical explorations of habitats with the seashore, and then move on to an incredible cultural study of The British Isles, American Indians and Germany, experiencing native songs, instruments, dances, stories and customs. The children are amazed as they discover their tonal and rhythm patterns appearing in written notation, and delight as they learn to play the recorder! They begin to read and play songs in duple & triple meters, and in major and minor tonalities. We continue the development of sophisticated aural skills, and we begin to make beautiful music together in group ensembles.
Classes meet 70 minutes weekly, for 30 weeks,
& begin only in the fall.
Tuition is $580 per year ($290 per semester - $300 after August 24); $564 per year ($282 per semester - $292 after August 24)
