Offer - Junior Music Course (JMC) - two year learning course.

In the first month

First, the children listen and connect to the music.
There are 4 parts of the textbook in the JMC program entitled “PRIMARY", and their implementation takes 2 years. This means that one part is implemented on average for 5-6 months. First, children look at the pictures in the textbook and listen to music, which stimulates their imagination. They try to play only the note “to" to the accompaniment of the teacher, and at the same time gain positive experience and develop their interests.

After three months

Children play their first repertoire song.
Thanks to live singing and physical reaction to music, children experience the joy of creating music with their peers. Through these activities, they will also become familiar with the keyboard by playing simple finger exercises with accompaniment. The result is the ability to play several simple songs with one hand.

After half a year

Children play the first song with two hands.
For children, learning in a group not only gives great joy, but also stimulates team play and healthy competition. At this level, students start playing two hands and start learning different musical elements using the process “Listening => Singing => Playing".

After a year

Children can play melody accompaniment.
Until then, the children learned the key of C major, G major, F major and some basic chords in these keys. They can sing and play expressing the musical expression of the song. At the same time, they are encouraged to independently choose the appropriate chords (harmony) accompanying the melody – independent experimenting.

After two years

Children can sing and play using the right musical expression.
For two years, their repertoire songs became more and more difficult: first in the key of C major, then in G major and F major, and then in D minor and A minor. Students have learned to play with great musical expression (including mood and dynamics).
