Adventus – Children’s Music Journey

 

Piano lessons for children can be expensive.  If you are looking for a much more affordable alternative to private piano tuition for your children then look no further… Adventus provide piano lessons for children at an affordable price.

Much like Piano Wizard Academy, there are games, stories and everything to get your children engaged and learn at the same time but also it takes your children on journey of music with animated characters.. which provides a ‘come back for more’ appeal.

The big difference between Adventus and other programs is that they are serious about learning! They really get to the core of learning and teaching, the whole program is built around the long term goal of getting children to appreciate music in its raw form.  At the same time making it fun and engaging.

This isn’t a quick hit, learn piano fast method.  Adventus students will gain long term skills, real music education.

For those serious about their childrens journey in piano.. there is a MusIQ HomeSchool section which is a complete SEVEN YEAR curriculum for ages 4 right up to 18!

Adventus are leaders in music and piano learning solutions and offer a wide range of educational software.  Adventus are a very popular choice for schools around the world and now offer their expertise for home learning in the form of Children’s Music Journey.

Beautifully animated with a “Disney-like” feel, children will love to sit and learn piano.  There are tons of testimonials from parents raving about how their children were being educated by ‘playing games’… they have literally had to drag them away from the keyboard!

Children Music Journey is a 3-volume series teaching children how to read music, play piano with both hands, even compose and improvise (which are amazing skills to have at such a young age).
