Preparatory Group Music Lessons: Music Ladders
Music ladder preparatory groups will familiarise pupils with the basics of playing and practising at home, ensure the suitability of the instrument, and build up a general understanding of playing a musical instrument. After a year of training, you can apply for basic studies with the same instrument without an entrance test.
The Music Institute’s Basic Studies
EMO provides basic arts education in the extensive study field of music. The studies include individual and group lessons, playing music in a group, and music perception studies. Some years this means several visits to the Institute a week. You can only learn to play by playing, so it’s important to find time for regular practice at home. Encouragement and support from home is important, especially in the early stages of playing a musical instrument.
To make it easier to choose an instrument: here you will find sound samples of the instruments.
The wide range and quality of EMO’s curriculum offer a good start for individual study paths for all kinds of players.
