Suzuki Pre-Instrumental Programme

Age 2.5-4.0

Piano, Voice, Violin, Cello

Programme Description

This newly revised programme aims to dive deeper into piano, voice, violin and cello based on the Suzuki repertoire, which provides a natural pathway to music reading and prepares them ready for instrumental lessons in future. It open opportunities for observation in our instrumental group sessions, where you and your child will learn what basic manners of how a lesson is constructed.

Your child will also learn music through the mother-tongue approach, which establishes children’s foundation for music learning through story-based singing, purposeful movement activities, ensemble and early stage of music literacy using graphic notations.
