Program Classification
Music Education Classes are offered for all ages and levels. The teaching program is divided into 2 curriculum plans.
CLASS I
Beginning kindergartners [Pre-Primary] through Musically Advanced pianists. This is a 5 - 7 Year course program focused on developing students musically via local auditions, master classes, music camps and summer music enrichment programs. Students progress through defined grade levels of growth.
STUDENT GRADE LEVELS
- PP [Preprimary]; PI [Primary I]; PII [Primary II]; PIII [Primary III]; PIV [Primary IV]
- EI [Elementary I]; EII [Elementary II]; EIII [Elementary III]; EIV [Elementary IV]
- Medium [Mid Level Development] (Preparation to move to the Difficult and Senior Levels)

Student levels comply with the guidelines of both the National Federation of Music and the American College of Musicians. These Levels apply to both General Music Studies and the Hobbyist Program.
CLASS II
Adult sessions cater for beginning and continuing music education. Adult classes are customized to fit the needs and goals of the individual. Alfred’s Adult Teaching books Levels 1–3 are recommended for use in conjunction with other learning materials recommended by the tutor. This is a 6-Month Intensive Course, after which a student may opt for maintenance bi-monthly or monthly lessons.
Teaching sessions are aggressive and fast–paced. Usually (with attention to practice and homework assignments) an adult student can accomplish great feats of learning within the first 6 months of classes.
