Junior Step Fundamental Course

Junior Step Fundamental Course invites children to start at 6-7 years old. The Junior Step Fundamental Course is designed for children starting to learn music between 6 to 7 years of age. The JSFC course content is similar to JMC, except the duration is 1 year.

During the course students participate in activities which provide basic musical skills, encouraging independence and establishing the basis of creativity and self-expression on a keyboard instrument. The textbooks contain a variety of repertoire pieces as well as chord playing, solfege, lyric singing, ensemble and music theory.

After the 1 year of JSFC, children can have the option to take their first grade exam to celebrate all that they have learnt. Children move on to the Junior Extension Course when they are 7-8 years old.

  • JSFC lasts 1 year, approx. 36 Lessons.

    Each lesson is 1hr long

    There will be up to 10 students in a class.

  • Two books are provided for the year’s course plus access to the music via Yamaha’s streaming service to practice along with the backing tracks at home. Each book lasts 6 months.

    Students also require a keyboard at home to practice.

  • Adults are required in the lesson for the first 6 months. The next 6 months are recommended to work towards students becoming independent, ready for the next stage of the course pathway, the Junior Extension Course.
