The Vision

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

COVID 19 AKA CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE

Since early March, Gapa Music School has been proactively taking steps to promote the safety of all our students, teachers, members and participants, We proactively moved to online instruction and other virtual platforms for all our classes, events and activities.

CURRICULUM

The curriculum will be designed as a student’s educational journey of music, over six years: Years 1 & 2: Primary | Years 3 & 4: Core | Years 5 & 6: Advanced These are broad time frames and lateral entry will be permitted on a case-by-case basis after a careful evaluation of prior musical learning, and musical abilities.

The curriculum will be based on a traditional repertoire and musical styles with an emphasis on strong fundamentals coupled with application of those fundamentals to musical presentation in an aesthetic and creative manner.

Students will be encouraged to seek a deeper understanding of the “why” behind traditional practices of the art form. Theoretical aspects and technical nuances will be presented in an accessible and lucid manner with pertinent illustrations, anecdotes and insights.
