JUNIOR MUSIC COURSES

Junior Music Course is the best possible introduction that a young child can have to the world of music. Open to children starting between the ages of 4 and 5, it offers them a unique chance to make music during a critical period in their development. Ninety percent of our students achieve perfect pitch and the benefits in terms of their physical, emotional, social and intellectual development are immense.

Junior Music Course classes are taught in groups of up to 10 children. By making music together, the confidence and self-esteem of the children gets a huge boost. Many parents report that their children's listening and social skills are considerably enhanced. To maintain the concentration and motivation of a young child for each one hour lesson, the teacher will have prepared at least thirty different activities, blending concentration, relaxation, music games, listening, singing and playing. And, as a parent, you are actively encouraged to join your child in the classroom and share the fun!

The flute is arguably one of the most popular instruments to learn in the orchestral family.

At Flute Encounters, our experienced teachers will pass on the skills necessary to become proficient in any of these disciplines.

We achieve this through listening, singing and reading activities.
