Offer - Junior Music Course (JMC) - general information.
“Junior Music Course" is the basis for all teaching offered at YAMAHA Music Schools.
The “Junior Music Course" takes into account the child’s physical, emotional and intellectual level of development, and the most appropriate teaching content, approach and style of the lesson are adapted to this.
In the first years of a child’s life, his hearing develops very quickly. Children are able to immediately remember the sounds and words heard for the first time in their lives. Therefore, if at this age they will come into contact with various musical genres by listening, singing and playing, they will gain a thorough foundation for the proper perception of music.
Children participating in the classes are 4 and 5-year-olds.
This is the period when the sense of hearing develops the fastest, so the ability to recognize sounds audibly is increased. These are ideal conditions for the development of absolute hearing, a sense of harmonics, as well as for the development of a sense of timbre and musical phrase. At the same time, children are encouraged to learn the basic musical elements – melody, rhythm and harmony, and keyboards are used as teaching tools.
The goal of “Junior Music Course" is to enable children to sing what they hear, play what they sing, and create their own songs or express musical expression using keyboards.
After 2 years, students move from the “Junior Music Course" to the “Junior Extension Course".
