Versatile Music Makers Classes - Tocando Piano

Alabanza Music classes are intended to nurture children's natural musical ability and awaken a lifelong love of music via our internationally renowned Musikgarten curriculum. 
     Classes at the keyboard in small groups allow the children to experience the delight in making music with others, while at the same time encouraging the development of rhythmic competency, listening skills, singing, and music-reading. In addition, learning melodies, scales and chords on the instruments, helps improve more difficult fine and gross motor skills.

     Doing solos (individual renditions) within a group setting, helps children to manage and overcome performance anxiety. In fact, according groundbreaking research “performing music-through singing, drumming and dancing- all resulted in participants having higher pain thresholds in comparison to listening to music alone.” 

     Children who complete Music Makers: At the Piano not only possess a strong desire to make music, they also have the aural and keyboard skills that will enable them to do so. It prepares children for future keyboard study, as well as whatever musical adventures the future holds. 

     Moreover, these children become truly versatile musicians, not limited to only being able to read sheetmusic, but also compose, improvise, and play by ear; with the ability to transfer knowledge to other instruments, having played a repertoire of music from our own culture and across the globe - a highly valuable and unique skillset combination for a musician!
