DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM
Learn to Play Preschool Piano and Preschool Keyboard Program is for children not yet at school, but who are ready to start learning to play at a time when it is most beneficial.
Activity choices include:
Piano lessons for preschool children usually need activities to approached in a fun way, like playing games and with simple encouragement and rewards like stickers and stamps.
Each Lesson will contain a mix of short activities chosen by you and your teacher aimed to help you achieve learning the music of your choice.
As each child is different, the length of time spent on each activity will depend upon their interest and concentration.
What will be learnt:
For preschool piano or preschool keyboard students, it is the regularity and consistency of playing at home that sets them up for success.
It is suggested that parents find a time each week when the child is not tired or distracted and set up a regularity that the child will become accustomed to.
4 Sessions of playing at home of homework each week are suggested. Playing at home sessions should be based on adequate repetition and improvement in the ease of playing set homework with good concentration rather than specific amounts of time, hence sessions may vary from 5 minutes to 15 minutes.
Parental supervision and assistance for children when doing their homework is required at all times, however "free playing" time is also to be encouraged for their enjoyment and creativity.
Homework typically consists of:
For this Preschool Piano or Preschool Keyboard program, we strongly suggest the relevant level of Wendy's Music METHOD Book is used to learn the Basics of music. Individual choices of Song and other music can be purchased through Wendy's online shop.
Currently Wendy’s Music provides all books in hard copy or digital copies that can be purchased direct from our online shop.
Hardcopy Method Books RRP $24 and Digital $9.99.
Supplementary Books such as Theory, Technique, Create, Sight reading and Backing Trax are also available from Wendy's online shop.
NB Book prices vary from approximately $12 - $40.
Violins are available in many, many sizes. Whilst an Adult will use a 4/4 size Violin, there are fractional sizes commonly available from 1/8,1/4,1/2 and 3/4 sizes, with some brands making even smaller sizes available.
Size is based upon the length of the child's arm and therefore their ability to hold the Violin with sustainable posture.
Students are required to have an instrument to play on at home however an instrument will be provided for a Trial lesson. Sizes available will vary with each teacher.
In addition to a Violin , bow and a hard case, it is highly recommended that a shoulder rest be also purchased, as it will enable good posture to develop. Violins usually come supplied with Rosen ( for the bow), as it is an essential for making the bow work.
Please visit Wendy's online shop for available instruments to purchase
