Course content
Pre-piano course (from 2 and a half years old)
Individual lesson once 30 minutes, 36 times a year
Group lessons 12 times a year
This is an introductory course before entering the textbook. There are individual differences depending on the child, but it is about half a year to a year as a guide. (Until your child is ready)
The goal is to familiarize you with the basics of musical instruments such as the piano, the basics of musical grammar, and lessons by reciting haiku, rhythmic and singing songs (English and Japanese), starting with greetings.
It is also during this time that parents are asked to participate in the lessons with their children, and at the same time, make lesson notes and develop listening and lesson habits at home. The future will greatly depend on how much you can prepare an environment such as listening and habituation of your time during this period. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
In group lessons with several people, we will work on rhythm activities, songs (textbooks, English songs, etc.), haiku, and so on. It will also be a place to prepare your mind for various presentations.

Text used
We will focus on the piano piece collection by Shinichi Suzuki, edited by the Piano Textbook Committee of the Suzuki Method International.
(With a model sound source by Mr. Seizo Higashi, a pianist from Suzuki Method and a professor at Tokyo University of the Arts)
Published in 1970 by Shinichi Suzuki and his sister, Ms. Shizuko Suzuki (one of the founders of the Suzuki Method Piano Department), who chose each song to give real music to children learning music from the beginning. It is based on "Shinichi Suzuki Piano Teaching Song Collection".
It has been revised in recent years, and while following the flow from the first edition, it has become a more balanced textbook for the times and composers.
It is a collection of masterpieces selected over a long period of time by piano teaching specialists representing Suzuki Method in Asia, America, Oceania, Europe and Japan.
Volume 1 contains many songs that are familiar to everyone, including folk songs from various countries that children around the world are familiar with, such as Kirakira Hoshi and Mary Had a Little Lamb. At the same time, it is studded with elements for developing ears and for developing basic piano techniques that can be used for a lifetime. In Volume 2, we will work on songs by major composers such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann and Bartok. Volumes 3 and 4 include Sonatina, Sonata, and other masterpieces from Chopin and Mendelssohn from Volume 5, and the classic masterpieces left by the great composers for children are lined up.
We may recommend songs other than textbooks to students who have extra capacity.
Group lessons
Group lessons are "the cornerstone of the Suzuki method" and "a place for growing up".
Especially when I was young, I learned different things from individual lessons, such as longing for friends who are a little older than me, "moderate" competition with children of the same age, compassion for children smaller than me, and manners for others. There are many.
You will learn the basics of reading music, musical grammar, and ensembles in a game format.
Also, by providing opportunities to frequently announce what you are working on, it will be easier to see small daily goals that are different from presentations and graduation recordings.
A well-balanced combination of online lessons where you can spend the same time with friends in remote regions and overseas, where you can use the piano one by one, and face-to-face group lessons where you can breathe in and play with your friends right next to you. increase.
This group lesson is, after all, "fun !!"
It is a piano that tends to be completed by practicing alone and presenting at the recital, but in this classroom, the instructor's group lesson instruction of over 400 hours and the group lesson accompaniment of stringed instruments over 800 hours From experience, we will incorporate group lessons with confidence.
