Training includes.... δ· Reading π€ Sight singing β― π« Music Theory πΌ Composing π§ Aural training - typically weaker amongst pianists, given that their instrument is pre-tuned π History & π Appreciation
Because we really believe in the value of this training, in creating "whole" musicians and not just mechanical piano players, where students can gain a true understanding of what they are doing, filling in the gaps, while simultaneously develop their ears - training for SK2, Elementary, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 (enrolled for piano) comes with no additional charge.
We reckon the famous quote from renowned Hungarian Composer & Educator, Zoltan Kodaly is the perfect summary of the longterm benefits of receiving this training -
βTo teach a child an instrument - without first giving him preparatory training and without developing singing, reading and dictating to the highest level along with the playing - is to build upon sand.β

β Exemptions: And as per school policy, the following enrolled students may seek an exemption from Music theory at PAI, with an immediate email to: director@pianoacademy.ie
- Leaving Cert students
- Those already taking a graded Music theory course at another institution where they are learning another instrument (Doing music in school does not constitute this)
- Advanced level students, post grade 8.
- Adults - our adult students are no different from our children and deserve the same βcompleteβ training and we highly encourage them to take a class appropriate for their level. We have seen with our own eyes the blossoming of many adult students over the years, and can put much of that blossoming down to the Musicianship training they have been getting (along with their piano) However we also understand the work commitments adults often have and hope that they will join in as soon as they possibly can.
