🎼Kodaly Music Theory Method at The Hap'ning Place N8
course price icon
From 138.35 C$ /h
arrow icon
At The Hap'ning Place we offer Kodaly Music Theory Lessons to all ages.

The Kodaly Method is an extremely successful way to learn musicianship; initially with the instrument you are born with (your voice!!)

Kodály's concepts are based on teaching, learning and understanding music through the experience of singing, giving direct access to the world of music with the most universal instrument. The Kodály approach to music education is student centered and skills are taught in a logical, sequential manner.

These can be individual lessons, as a part of your instrumental training or taken as a separate class.
If there are enough students, we will offer a group class and reduce the rate per person.

For more information and available times for your next one to one lesson, please get in touch.

I specialise in teaching guitar for all levels. Beginners are very welcome. My main aim is to get the students to enjoy playing and from there we can start to get deeper into theory, composition, improvisation and song writing. I also specialise in Brazilian guitar if that is anyone's passion.

Hello there, I am Jools, London based session musician and music tutor.
I have classical training on piano, having studied for 11 years. I was lucky enough to work for FunKeys For Kids: that gave the chance to do peripatetic teaching and work with kids. And definitely there is nothing better than trying to show the passion for music.
My classes are generally for beginners and whoever wants to step into learning piano.
I do as well one to one tuitions where I am focusing more on right and left hand technique, sight reading, harmony.

And of course if there is a song you would like to learn I will be happy to show you how.
If this is for you do not hesitate to get in touch.

I am looking forward to teaching you

Lessons are usually 3/4hr or one hour. Please see my profile for more information on my approach.

I have very limited availability at the moment but if it's online lessons I have more than the calendar shows.

The class is tailored to the individual but in general technique and musicality go hand in hand. I am strong on the reading of music as this gives the student all the necessary tools to read so many different genres of music... and to then be free of music if that is the goal.

- applying to a college/university degree programme where they might need to brush up on their theory knowledge or qualification
- an enthusiastic or gifted musician in practice, who wants to contextualise and bolster their general understanding with the 'whys'/'hows' of music, and not just the 'whats'.
