At Dolce School of Music, the youngest students begin at the age of three. If your child demonstrates good coordination and concentration, they can effectively engage in music studies at a young age. Dolce have various aids and props, including singing, drawing, writing, and playing, that can assist your child in understanding music notations.

The first few lessons are fundamental music theory and the student will be able to done it without the instrument. Though Dolce strongly encourage our students to have an instrument at home for music practices in the long run. Student can also purchase musical instruments through Dolce so you may prepare the appropriate musical instrument for your child e.g. Violin size and Piano brands.

Teachers in Dolce School of Music encourage our beginner students to practice 20 minutes everyday.

The performances, activities, and games that we use in the music lessons can stimulate the student’s musical creativity. Hence we are proud to say that most of the students in Dolce School of Music have the passion in music and willingness to practice.

Dolce hold two student concerts each year at venues including the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Music can teach us lots of useful skills - social skills, playing music with peers, individual discipline in practicing, and the ability to self-motivate. A high degree of patience and a balance of short and long term strategies (particularly lacking in today's 'instant' culture) are required to achieve well. Students must grow and mature in initiative, courage, communication and perseverance - these are 'life skills'. Indeed, it is interesting to note that music graduates applying for jobs outside the music profession have a high success rate at interviews - many employers recognise that musicians have relatively high standards of achievement and discipline, as well as the ability to see a long-haul task through to the end. It is a great opportunity for your child to begin music lesson at young age and develop their skill set.
