COMMITTED TO ADULT LEARNING
Group classes are a fantastic way of learning music - for developing skills, knowledge and enjoyment - by giving students the benefits of participation, discourse, observation, connection and building a valuable social network amongst other music enthusiasts. With courses developed especially for adult students, Music Classes Canberra provides an engaging creative and collaborative group platform, that also recognises and emphasises individual student goals and progress.
All our music classes include:
-
one-hour face-to-face or virtual collaborative group lessons, scheduled at a regular weekly time over a term; and
-
continuous online access to progressive course material and extra tips & info for ongoing support over a term.
MUSIC READING & THEORY
Beginner and intermediate theory classes
For beginner to intermediate students, Music Reading & Theory is run at two levels. Entry level covers basic note reading, and the foundations of rhythm, melody and harmony; the next level builds on foundational theory and delves deeper into the elements of music.
WORLD MUSIC
Music appreciation and discovery classes
For anyone interested in indigenous, folk and non-Western classical musical styles, World Music looks at ancient and traditional music from Asia, South America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Pacific Islands, Africa and other regions around the world.
About Us
Music Classes Canberra is an independent music school specialising in adult music education - offering classes in piano, music reading and theory, composition and arranging, and world music - run by award-winning composer and pianist, Rasa Daukus. An experienced and dedicated music educator, Rasa is passionate about teaching music creatively. She has taught tertiary level music as well as absolute beginners, written numerous collections of educational piano works for students, created music content for online, virtual and physical learning platforms, served as university lecturer, subject convener and curriculum adviser, presenter, adjudicator, and on the board of the Music Teachers' Association.
Before taking up an artist residency at Ainslie Arts Centre, Rasa was the Director of Music at the University of Canberra for four years, where she developed a highly successful practical group-focussed music tuition program for continuing adult education. These classes are modelled on that program.
Rasa is grateful to David Tattersall, the Director of Music at the University of Canberra before her, for initiating community music at UC and getting her started exploring the class format.
