The KeyNotes Storytellers curriculum goes beyond traditional piano lessons, immersing students in a world where music becomes a language of character, mood, feelings and storytelling.

We discover what the elements are that make music and then match them to stories and characters! Would the 🐰 Hare’s music be fast, or slow? Would the 🧟‍♂️ Giant’s song be loud, or soft?

🎶 Storytellers learners develop the musical vocabulary to describe the impact of what they hear through listening exercises, interval and rhythm training, games and singing, building a solid technical foundation and expressing their creativity through improvisation and even their very first compositions.

Our courses for beginner pianists aged 6-8 include:
▪ learning materials,
▪ parents’ practice guidance,
▪ online video guides to every class, and
▪ all the support parents need to guide young musicians who are just beginning their musical journey.

KeyNotes Storytellers Tuition Fees:
R675 per month / R1 800 per term
