At Forte we grow the young musician inside your child
Forte courses are designed to nurture a whole suite of musical skills including:
- music reading
- theory (the symbols of music and how to write them)
- aural (note recognition, identifying and playing phrases and chords by ear)
- rhythm & beat
- keyboard harmony (chord playing)
- piano (learning to play piano, concert performance and playing by memory)
Why are aural skills necessary?
A good ear is essential for a budding musician as music is an ‘aural art’. Traditional methods of teaching music virtually ignore aural development as it is difficult to teach in a private lesson format. The key to aural development is singing. And we sing, lots and lots.
Your child will develop a confident, accurate and listenable singing voice. A great voice is a gift for life.
Our multi sensory approach engages all learners!
A multi-sensory approach is one which involves the three main senses:
We all take onboard information utilising our senses; visual, auditory and kinesthetic.
Traditionally music has been taught in a visual way where reading is the key. This approach makes it more difficult for auditory and kinesthetic learners.
Forte teaches music in a multi-sensory way utilising the three main senses of visual, auditory and kinesthetic in teaching every piece so each type of learner is catered for.
A multi-sensory approach often means that children strengthen their ‘weaker’ senses leading to a stronger and more robust learner in other areas of their education.
