Introduction to piano from age 4
A first encounter with the piano designed for 4-year-olds: a joyful, structured and progressive class in which children discover rhythm, notes, the keyboard, high and low sounds, and their first musical time signatures.
An engaging and playful class for young children
What your child will discover during the year
Rhythm
Children learn to feel the pulse and place notes within a lively, steady musical framework.
The seven notes
Children gradually discover musical language and begin to recognise notes on the score.
The link between keyboard and score
Written symbols become sounds and then movements on the keyboard.
High and low sounds
Children explore different pitches and gradually find their way around the piano’s octaves.
Three- and four-beat measures
Children discover the musical logic of time, movement and the natural breathing of phrases.
Developing movement, coordination and creativity
Emerging technique
The class helps children establish their first technical foundations naturally, without rigidity.
Coordination
The exercises support motor development, concentration and coordination of movement.
Musical expression
Children are encouraged to listen, feel and express something personal through music.
An ideal next step after early-years music classes
This class provides a natural transition for 4-year-olds who attended early-years music classes at age 3, before moving on to group piano lessons from age 5.
