	Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken. ~Ludwig van Beethoven

Forte's unique keyboard courses are renowned for making learning music fun. Children enjoy the wide variety of music. From classical to rock’n’roll, in no time you will be amazed at how much they can do. Theory, listening, reading, composing, and all musical skills are developed in a comprehensive approach so your child will develop into a young musician. These keyboard courses give students foundation music skills, which are also excellent preparation for playing in a school band or orchestra.

Junior Keys - Music Munchkins

Junior Keys Course is offered for beginner students younger than 7 years old. Children not only learn to play piano but unlike traditional music training also gain a good grounding in all other musical skills including:

ear training for pitch (ability to identify musical notes by ear)
music theory (understanding the symbols used in music)
music reading
composition
keyboard harmony (the underlying chord structures, patterns and systems that all music is built on).

Piano Keys

Piano Keys is designed as a beginner level course for older students (8 -11 years). This age group learns differently and generally moves through the course material more quickly than younger students do. As with the Junior Keys course, Piano Keys is designed to be a fun way to learn music, and provides grounding in all other musical skills.
