But I know nothing about music!
This step-by-step course is designed for total beginners who have absolutely no prior knowledge in music or the keyboard. Individuals who attended other beginner courses but still find themselves unable to play confidently and effectively are advised to join the Beginner Module. What you are going to learn here is fun, powerful and meaningful.
What will be covered during the 11 weeks?
Our main objective is to equip you to play confidently on the keyboard. Level I coverage includes: Rhythm Fundamentals - Basic Scale Construction - Introduction to Chord Progressions - Song Application
I have some experience on the classical piano in the past. However, I arrived at a plateau in my growth as a musician especially in the area of personal worship. Is this program suitable for me?
As a piano student, you should already understand the basics of rhythm, chord construction and scale construction. What we will do in this module is to show how beginners can use these concepts in actual playing. If you feel that you need to learn these from a basic level, you are welcomed to join the classes. If not, you may proceed to Worship Dynamics I.
Is it convenient?
Our Training Centres are fully-equipped and of short walking distance from the MRT.
Is it FUN?
You'll get to meet people who share the same passion. Learning to play a musical instrument can be highly rewarding. Learning to play the keyboard is more than fun. It's life changing. We all know of people around us whom we think have learnt to play the keyboard reasonably well. With practice, this skill will stay and enrich not only your lives but also the lives of people and family around you. For many of us who are just starting to pick up this unique skill, believe that the journey is well worth it.
What is the difference between an acoustic piano and an electric/digital piano?
Both the acoustic piano and electric piano use what is known as weighted keys so they are, in fact, very similar. However, the "touch" of these keys may vary as the acoustic piano keys generally requires greater skill in handling especially if you wish to control the volume of the sound. The electric piano on the other hand offers you the option of turning the volume low if you with to practice quietly or even silently at night, using headphones. The keys are slightly lighter in touch so making it easier for the beginner to handle. You will also have other instrument sounds and functions on the electric piano you can use, besides the piano sound. There is also no need for tuning maintenance, which is required for the acoustic piano.
