Musical Autonomy
Keynotes Play emphasizes autonomy, empowering older beginners to take control of their musical journey. We believe that freedom to explore and express themselves enhances the joy of learning.
Performing
Our Keynotes Play learners perform every lesson! Structured performance time at the end sees all students performing both solo and as an ensemble.
Challenges
Every piece has two different version and four ways of playing them, in order to layer in and build difficulty. Students can work through the various challenges, mastering each one before up-levelling. This is not only a great tool for learning groups, it is also truly motivating for students.
Reading
Reading music is always a challenge for learners and we address this by using a variety of approaches We also give "Analyze Pages" so students can find answers for themselves.
Repertoire
Older learners require a certain type of repertoire to engage them! Minor keys, fast tempos, drum kit backing tracks, all contribute to giving them songs that they love to play!
Games
Games help to introduce and consolidate skills! Each game aims to embed learning , give students an opportunity to collaborate, and be super fun!
Collaboration
The social setting of group piano is utilized to its full force in our Keynotes Play classes! Students work together, help each other, encourage each other, and develop their own piano squad!
Aims & Objectives
Learning objectives are super clear in our KeyNotes Play workbooks; students know whether they are on track and can take ownership of their progress, developing their independent thinking skills.
Rhythm & Pulse
Every lesson has activities that engage learners with rhythms; listening to them, tapping them, writing them, creating them, through which they develop an excellent sense of pulse!
Group Music-Making,
Individual Progress
Our innovative strategies for differentiation and cyclical learning structures mean that while our learners learn and play together, they are able to further challenge themselves individually when needed. This means that no learner is left behind or held back. We cover e very learning style through our delivery and ensure that every learner thrives.
