ENCORE on KEYS: Junior Series for 3 ½ – 6 years old
Encore on Keys is an excellent programme for keyboard or piano students as it seeks to develop complete musicians through performance pieces, improvisation, aural training and music literacy.
Young children love the fun approach of the Encore on Keys Junior Series. They meet their instrument right from the start, singing along with the music, playing percussion instruments and engaging with the music through gestures and actions and becoming part of the music-making experience. Through the use of body percussion, speech patterns and time names, the level of engagement is heightened by world-class backing tracks
The key elements of the Junior Series program are:
| Songs | for musical enjoyment, expression and foundation movement activities |
| Finger Zips | small pieces that develop keyboard skills on a micro level |
