We at the PBCMS recommend that your child learns about the different instruments by watching concerts and listening to music. A great start is Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf", a musical story introducing children to the instruments of the orchestra; click the arrow to the right for a performance by PBCMS staff,children and friends.

When your child has a basic foundation in their instrument (about grade 1 standard) and reading simple notation, they will be expected to join one of our groups. This is essential training that cannot be covered one-to-one. It is also great fun and will keep your child interested and motivated. Many children make friends for life, bonded by love of music.
