Congrats Weisan!

Just as all her students do, Weisan works hard all year to improve and develop her skills. All this work paid off last month when she passed her IVA Level 3 exam to become a Certified Level 3 Instructor. Not only that but she was also given the honour of becoming the IVA Representative for Hong Kong… double whammy and double congratulations!! Well done Weisan.

To find out more about IVA you can contact us 

A few video clips of our students performing their hearts out at our Student Show in October. We were so proud of their progress and can see their confidence building each time we challenge them to perform. Playing or singing to an audience, as well as with others, is something we believe is invaluable when you’re learning an instrument and we try to offer as many performance opportunities to our students as we can. Get in touch for details on how you can find your musical voice, and then share it with others!

Check out more videos!

Here’s Dave performing on TVB with Soler in April 2015. Rock on!!!

Performances

We feel it’s very important that our students are given as many performance opportunities as possible. After all, alongside regular lessons and practise, only performing can really help you to improve and build your confidence!

We try to arrange as many performances as we can throughout the year where students can collaborate with other budding musicians or perform on their own. Our next performance will be confirmed very soon…

MUSIKGARTEN @ ASPIRE!

We are so excited to offer toddler music classes at Aspire Music now. These aren’t just any old toddler music classes (we’ve tried and tested them and they are wonderful)! Music is a fun way to spend time with your little one, and since children are innately musical, it is an activity to which they are drawn.

Enjoy Musikgarten’s thoughtfully planned music activities with teacher Weisan. We will explore the child’s desire for language, the body’s urge to move, the brain’s attraction to patterns, the ear’s lead in initiating communication, the voice’s response to sounds, as well as the eye-hand coordination associated with playing instruments. 

Our goal is to give parents and caregivers the confidence to continue their musical experience with their child outside of the classroom and see the beauty of music grow in their homes.

Toddler 1 term is available on Saturdays at 9.30am. To sign up or for more information, you can get in touch with us.

Due to the tough Covid restrictions on music venues we haven’t been able to hold any live performances for a very long time. So we thought we would offer our students an alternative performance opportunity, to give them something to aim for and work towards – this is the STUDENT SHOWCASE.

Basically all our students are offered the chance to record (audio and video) whatever song they are working on and we then show the videos on loop in the waiting area of the school, so everyone can enjoy the fruits of their labour. We also share the video with the student so they have a great recording to impress friends and family with!

We have had a great response from our drum and piano students so far, and here is our first vocal student showcase. This is Kathy singing Power of Love by Celine Dion. 

DRUM LESSON FOR 2

Drum Lessons for 2 are shared private lessons for 2 students. In the classes, students can build a solid foundation in playing the drum kit. As students begin to master these basics, they’ll be shown how to use these skills creatively and musically in the context of contemporary song styles.

If you’d like more information, you can get in touch with us. 

SINGING FUNDAMENTALS FOR TEENS

Are you a teenager who’s having trouble dealing with your voice change…? Maybe you’re feeling a bit stuck singing the same songs and wondering where you should take your voice next..? Or perhaps you’ve never sung in front of anyone before and now’s the time to find your voice.

This Singing Fundamentals course for teens will address the challenges of voice change and help you understand your voice better. Each in-depth class will help you identify your good and bad habits, give you tools to correct and develop your voice and, most importantly, demonstrate how to apply good technique to the songs you love. You will also learn how to apply style and learn how to make the right vocal choices for the different genres you sing.

If you’re interested in this class, please get in touch with us. 

We had the great pleasure of recording a fun Christmas video with some of the members of the AXA family! The had never done anything like this before and we think they did a brilliant job singing, rapping and dancing at the same time!

If you’re interested in recording a song with us, please get in touch with us.

After initially having the joyful (or not so joyful) help of builders and contractors, we got down to some serious D.I.Y.

Ever feel like you’re just playing the same grooves over and over again? Then you need GROOVE LAYERS to freshen things up. Take the grooves you already know and experiment with different sound sources, add in a few extra notes here and there, create subtle but effective changes by using a different subdivision… you’ll be amazed how different you can make those old grooves sound. This video is drum teacher Dave demonstrating the use of open hihats with a variety of basic grooves. If you want to see more Groove Layer ideas visit our YouTube Channel – but the best way to find out more is to come along for a Drum Lesson :))

Once the tour was over, Michael dropped a bomb-shell on our students….. that he wanted THEM to PERFORM on the Metro Plus station!!!
