Music is Fun (3½ to 5 years)

You can give your child a head start to music with the Forte "Music is Fun" course, which along with all the other musical activities (singing, games, percussion), introduces piano skills. Young children love music and have a natural ability to respond to it. In Music is Fun we build on this natural ability and interest, introducing many musical concepts in a creative and imaginative way. 

Weekly 45 minute classes - check out your nearest school for prices.  
Contact your local school for further information.


Junior Keys Course (4½ to 7 years)

In our Junior Keys classes, each week your child will learn a little more about music and playing the piano as they join in the many varied activities. Tried and tested teaching methods ensure that lessons are inspiring and fun, while positive peer pressure through learning with others sustains interest and increases self-esteem. There is no time to get bored in the action packed weekly.
