An Overview For The Parent
Welcome to your first in-depth musical experience!
Since your child is between the young ages of 3 to 5, it is important
that we present music in a fun and entertaining way. That is why
I use a series of books known as Music For Little Mozarts. This
series uses little animated characters known as Beethoven Bear
& Mozart Mouse to guide them through a journey of playing
and understanding music. Along with playing piano, children also
sing, dance and clap. All these activities instill many elements
that are important in becoming a musician. Most importantly, this
is an experience for both you and your child. You as a parent
will be expected to attend & participate in every lesson and
oversee their practise at home!
Other than experiencing the joy and satisfaction, there are many
more benefits for a child in the study of music. Please visit
the following article to see how music education can be more than
just simply learning to play an instrument...

Extras!
- Practise Chart: This keeps track of practise habits since
the student has to check off a spot on the chart after they
practise. Students are rewarded with stars for their weekly
effort. When they complete this level, they are given a special
prize for their hard work!
In The Future...
Your child will move on to Book 2 of Music For Little Mozarts.
In that level, they will begin the process of learning how to
read standard music notation and counting.
