MUSIC APPRECIATION

Once a student has completed the KMI Core Curriculum (beginner years), the student enters the intermediate years. This is a period of 4-6 years where the student is learning and mastering the musical (theory and history) and technical (scales, triads, arpeggios) skills needed to play the standard music literature (Sonatas by Beethoven, Waltzes by Chopin, etc.). Once the students has mastered the basic technique taught during the intermediate years, the student becomes advanced, which not only means she/he is capable of playing some of the standard literature, but also means the student will begin to master the skills required for the most difficult literature. In both levels, must of our students are in the MUSIC APPRECIATION PROGRAM, which means they are studying music simply for general education and/or for the love of it.
