GROUP TUITION
The Academy believes group tuition provides a complete music learning experience for
students and it’s so much FUN!
Students perform and learn together in an environment
promoting creativity, singing, and active listening. Teaching methods are based
on European philosophies of Orff, Dalcroze, and Kodaly, with a strong emphasis placed on
improvisation and ear-training.
Contemporary music teaching practices are a key
strength to our program which guarantees our teaching is relevant to student
needs, innovative, interactive, and up-to-date with current treads in music
education pedagogy.
Group tuition includes: 3 to 4 students per-class
Seven key
advantages of group tuition?
1) Group classes teach students how to practice what
students are learning in class and ensures student understand how to practice
correctly at home.
2) Group classes are motivating and more engaging for students. Student
is able to learn their instrument in the company of their peers and to belong to
a group learning dynamic while under the leadership of their teacher (identical
to a sport team).
3) Students develop personal, social and academic skills that are
directly transferable to mainstream schooling. These skills involve
multi-tasking, team-player, interpersonal communication, memory recall skills,
public communication skills, goal setting and self-confidence.
4) In group class’s student’s aural perception develops faster and
students learn to listen to each other and themselves and as a result are more
confident when performing individually and in a band or orchestra setting.
5) Group classes prepare students for tutor-style school learning
environment that occurs throughout primary, secondary and tertiary schooling.
6) Group classes provide student with a solid foundation in music
comprehension, creativity, ensemble performing, preparing student to be young
musicians, and setting the foundation for the rest of their music education.
7) Group classes provide students with opportunity to learn experience
and engage in music making both individually and in a group. The teacher
conducts group classes on levels, individual learning tasks and group learning
tasks. Group class environment is identical to how children undertake all other
areas of academic learning in schools and other extra-curriculum activities.
