Junior Play For Keeps Junior Play For Keeps provides a fun and stimulating environment in which children can enjoy making music on a keyboard. It is open to beginners aged between six and seven and is designed to take the student to an intermediate level. At this stage they then progress to the Play For Keeps course, working at book 3 standard. At the age of six, a child's attention span has started to lengthen and they can stay focused for longer. In Junior Play For Keeps we believe that a fun approach to learning music is important. We achieve this through listening, singing and reading activities. Course material consists of a series of themed text books with a visually striking cartoon-style presentation designed to appeal to children of this age.
Play For Keeps Play For Keeps is the ideal course for those who want to learn the keyboard in a fun and creative environment. Working in a group of up to eight students, you will have the additional advantage of being able to learn to play in a band, as well as solo. Whether you're nine or ninety, in Play For Keeps you'll find it's never too late to discover the fun of music-making. Play For Keeps encompasses a broad range of musical genres, with a focus on popular music from the Rock & Roll era to the present day. We make sure you get to learn the styles of music you want to be able to play, so there's never been a better time to learn to play the keyboard!
