APPROACH TO MUSIC TEACHING

At Letts Music School we follow a 5 step process to teaching any new piece of music to students:-
​
STEP 1 – Listen;
​STEP 2 – Sing (speak or hum etc);
STEP 3 – Improvise (create the rhythm by movement, clapping, waving your arms, stomping your feet, dancing, or using any percussion instruments etc);
STEP 4 – Read the music and play; and
STEP 5 – Write your own musical composition.

Teacher Profile

• Alice teaches individual piano lessons to all ages.  This is a great opportunity for those adults who learnt the piano as children but have now forgotten everything, to come back for lessons again to freshen up their skills and get back to the level they used to be able to play at …. and to go beyond!
• Alice also teaches group music theory classes for all ages.
• For babies and toddlers, she runs  Zumbini^®  group classes, incorporating music and dance (ages 0 – 4 years).
• Progressing on from this, children aged four and above may choose to begin preschool piano lessons, where they build on their musicality, dalcroze and solfege, as they are introduced to music theory and how to play the piano.  They follow preschool programmes from Wunderkeys, and Dogs & Birds Programme.
• Subsequently progressing onto the ABRSM syllabus for Prep level, Initial Exam, continuing with the Graded Exams from Grades 1 and beyond.
