About the programme

Playful classes, real foundations

Little Stars is our small-group class for children aged 3.5 to 4.5, designed to build strong musical foundations in a fun, social and age-appropriate setting. Classes are capped at 6 children, so every child gets real attention and plenty of time at the keyboard.

Lessons are built around games, movement, singing and interactive activities. To the children it feels like play, while real skills quietly take root: keyboard awareness, rhythm, listening, note recognition and simple playing techniques. Learning piano at a young age can also support focus, coordination, listening skills, memory, creativity and discipline.

Children progress through Level A and Level B over two years. After graduating from Little Stars, they start Grade 1!

Lessons curated by Teacher Jovanna and Teacher Sarah.

What students learn

  • Basic keyboard awareness and simple playing techniques
  • Rhythm and beat through movement and games
  • Listening skills and singing
  • Note recognition
  • Musical confidence in a small group
  • Good classroom habits: focus, turn-taking and following along

Who it is for

Little Stars is the perfect first step for:

  • Children aged 3.5 to 4.5
  • Little ones with no prior musical experience
  • Families who want a joyful head start before formal 1-to-1 piano lessons
