Kelly Kirby Piano (Ages 5-7)

July 23, 2015 By

ABOUT: The Kelly Kirby program was built psychologically on the modern kindergarten method of proceeding from the ‘known’ to the ‘unknown’, and from the ‘thing’ to its ‘sign’.

THE KELLY KIRBY material is presented in a series of four piano books unique in their presentation of ear training, sight reading, technique and theory. The completed course provides a thorough development in ear training and note reading (covering the complete range of the musical staff), time and note values, duple, triple and quadruple rhythm, basic musical signs, scale and chord formation in three major keys (introduction of sharps and flats), and keyboard transposition in those keys. The child’s interest is stimulated with a variety of activities, embracing these elements, as he progresses in a natural and constructive way.

There are four books unique in their presentation of ear training, sight reading, technique and theory. The Kelly Kirby program offers the beginning student a proper balance between the eye and the ear which is so vital to progress and success. A Kelly Kirby graduate can move to another teacher, or even another instrument, confident that a proper foundation has been provided. The Kelly Kirby Program is a special approach to music through the piano that provides a complete foundation for any type of music study or other instrument that a child may wish to later pursue. This method is compatible with the young child’s mentality and the material is suited to the child’s needs, laying a complete foundation for future study.

Purpose:
The program was built psychologically on the modern kindergarten method of proceeding from the ‘known’ to the ‘unkown’, and from the ‘thing’ to its ‘sign’. The Kelly Kirby material is presented in a series of four piano books unique in their presentation of ear training, sight reading, technique and theory. The completed course provides a thorough development in ear training and note reading (covering the complete range of the musical staff), time and note values, duple, triple and quadruple rhythm, basic musical signs, scale and chord formation in three major keys (introduction of sharps and flats), and keyboard transposition in those keys. The child’s interest is stimulated with a variety of activities, embracing these elements, as he progresses in a natural and constructive way.

Benefits:
Today’s parents realize the benefits of early music training. Music students learn more than how to play their instruments. Research studies have concluded that music training and specifically piano instruction results in:

• improved concentration and success at school
• self-discipline that is necessary for any type of success
• positive performance experiences that build self-confidence
• the ability to take tackle problems and resolve them
• stronger skills in mathematics

Kelly Kirby satisfies the desire of the young child who wants to ‘play’ the piano because it is a ‘performance’ training in which ear training, sight reading and piano playing are taught from the very first lesson.

Certificates are available to children who complete the program with a qualified Kelly Kirby Teacher. Workshops, auditions, recitals and scholarships are available in a non-competitive environment. As valuable and important as any research is, it cannot explain or quantify the joy and fulfillment music brings to our lives and the lives of our children!
