About Blast Off!
Blast Off will get your child started in music and piano studies! It is designed to give them a them a strong foundation in music using the building blocks of rhythm, melody, keyboard geography and technique. Students learn in a fun, friendly group environment that is conducive to learning. Below is a description of the concepts taught in Blast Off!
Students are taught the rhythm notes and learn to count and play them in time using fun rhythm instruments. The scale is taught using mini xylophones which trains their ear to hear melodic intervals. Proper hand technique is introduced and practiced. Students put the rhythm notes to work on the keyboard on one key.
The names of the most important piano keys (keyboard geography) are taught one by one, and the student learns to identify them up and down the keyboard. Hand technique is reviewed to include the new keys and the students are given simple songs that employ these keys.
Review of all the previous keys and rhythm notes occurs. More keys are added to their vocabulary. New songs including these keys are given. Music reading elements are introduced such as Times Signature, measures etc.
The aim of Blast Off is to prepare students for continuing study during the summer if desired or in the The Semester Course which will begin on August 8th.
