The activity

Music Lessons, explained

Music lessons introduce children to an instrument, singing or dance through one-to-one or small-group tuition, usually starting with rhythm, listening and simple songs before moving on to technique and reading music. Regular lessons build coordination, concentration, memory and the confidence to perform in front of others. Many children start singing, piano or drums from around four or five, while larger instruments such as guitar or violin often wait until hands are big enough. Short, regular practice at home between lessons makes the biggest difference to progress.

Who it's for

Children and adults, from beginners to advanced students. Children can start singing, piano, drums and dancing from age 4, and guitar, bass, violin, darbuka and DJing from age 7. The school says this is about instrument size, not ability. Singing can be taught in any language the student chooses.

What to expect

Singing and instrument lessons are private and counted in 30-minute lessons (an hour counts as two); dancing and DJing packages are sold as one-hour private lessons. For a child who isn't sure yet, the school suggests starting with a 4-lesson package, such as the 990 AED 'I Wanna Try' singing or instrument package. After the fourth lesson you decide together whether to carry on, or switch to another instrument, singing or dance. Each lesson is filmed so your child can practise at home by watching it. The school suggests 15 to 20 minutes of daily practice for a 30-minute lesson. No free trial lesson is published. Ask the provider about instrument rental.
