Digital Keyboard & Theory Station

MIDIKids’ Composing Station

IT Music Keyboard & Theory Holiday Program


•	This is the course all kids look forward to – loads of musical fun!
•	The Digital Keyboard & Theory course introduces beginning students to keyboard performance and note reading in a holistic program, including the organized development of pitch, rhythm, note singing, keyboard and movement activities. Students get to learn basic piano playing skills (keyboard) and music theory in a fun and interactive way.
•	This course is an IT music course for young children interested in getting a head-start in a music education. This course has a similar music syllabus to a traditional music education using an upright piano.
•	On top of that, 'DKT' has an added advantage - learning music through the computer. The method of teaching theory verbally may bore many children off today, thus 'DKT' introduces a fun and highly effective way of teaching children music theory through music games.
•	If your child is constantly restless when learning things or gets bored easily, this is the perfect course! They will play musical games on the computer, be intrigued with the fun characters in the games while they keep their musical interest locked in tightly.
•	As 'DKT' has exactly the same music syllabus as the 'Classical Piano', students can switch over to the graded 'Classical Piano' anytime. Students will achieve basic note-reading skills & rhythm sense; ability to play simple songs independently, hands separately, then together; overall music appreciation & basic computer skills.
•	Using a touch-sensitive keyboard, even a 2 yr old is able to strike the key well! This touch will slowly be adjusted to the hard touch of a normal piano, as the student progresses.

	Other skills learnt: Note-reading Rhythmic patterns Keyboard techniques Ear training Voice training Knowledge of musical expressions and tones Music arrangement and improvisation Music appreciation and interest
