Music Classes in Singapore for Adults & Children

STACCATO!:
STACCATO! is a music school in Singapore that specializes in teaching classical music to children and adults in fun, creative and unconventional ways. We believe classical music can be enjoyed by all ages and we focus not only on developing music competence in our students but also in creating an enjoyable holistic learning experience by cultivating an appreciation and love for classical music.

Early Childhood Music Curriculum
Under the Early Childhood Music Curriculum, music and movement sessions are specially designed for young children 1-6 years of age in a group setting with their parents or caregivers

We adopt a theme-based approach which helps children and adults relate different music pieces to various interests or topics. This approach brings across the relevance of classical music to our daily life. Examples of themes include Classical Composers, Animals, The Seasons, etc.

The STACCATO! methodology adopts not only the music education philosophies of renowned music educators of Carl Orff, Dalcroze, Suzuki and Kodály, it is also built on a well-researched premise that classical music brings overwhelming positive benefits for young children.

World Music Program
This program provides adults and children 6 years and above with a unique opportunity to experience music from around the globe. It is designed to provide fun, hands on, and practical music making sessions using a variety of instruments from regions around the world.

From African singing and playing of the Mbira of the Shona people, to Indonesian Angklung music from West Java and Talempong music from East Java, as well as Latin American percussion music, there are ample opportunities to experience the diversity of world music. The instruments used in this course include hand drums like the djembe and congas, cowbells, woodblocks, claves, shakers, Angklung, Talempong, and Mbiras (for advanced levels).

Keyboard and Piano Curriculum
Under the Keyboard and Piano Curriculum, adults and children 4 years and above undertake formal keyboard lessons on a group or individual basis depending on their needs and musicianship levels.

This is a comprehensive 4-year keyboard course. Students will be introduced to different aspects of music including singing, theory, sight-reading, sight-singing, harmony, ear-training, technique, repertoires, composition, creative movement and improvisation. These skills are taught to enhance the understanding of music and the level of musicianship. Classes are taught in a fun and creative way which brings out the student's ability. At the end of each semester, a recital will be organized to showcase the student's composition or performances.

Workshops and Events
Workshops and special events are conducted by highly qualified and experienced local and overseas guest educators who are invited to speak on a wide range of topics relating to musicianship, early childhood music education, classical music appreciation etc.
