What can you expect from a Yamaha Play for Keeps group lesson?
The lessons are one hour long with no more than eight students at one time organised into similar age/ability groups.
Students are involved in group playing activities, solo performances, reading/writing music using interactive games and listening skills are constantly developed. Students develop both piano and keyboard skills making them versatile musicians!
Backing tracks are provided to popular songs used in the lessons, making practice at home fun – even for those just listening!
Parents are welcome to stay for the lessons, although it is not compulsory. They are, however, invited to the final five minutes of the lesson to listen to the homework given and see/hear students’ achievements.
This course is also aimed at adults wishing to learn the keyboard and so new friends can be made whilst developing a new skill.
At the end of each book, students have the opportunity to take an accredited exam using material learnt in lessons. Grades 1 – 8 are available, with Grade 6 onwards carrying UCAS points towards University applications. So this fun activity can turn into a career or aid progression into Higher Education.
