Frequently Asked Question
Is learning music tough?
To gain any sort of knowledge, there are three factors which are very essential. They are: 1) Teacher 2) Student and 3) Course. Besides, parents are also an essential factor for students who are not self-employed. What we noticed was that teachers and students were taking all of their efforts and even the parents were supporting them but the syllabus was not proper. So first of all, we concentrated on the syllabus. We wanted a syllabus that taught real music and contained everything. We were in search of a syllabus which provided an international board certification, had pieces according to the likings of the current generation and had a structure that taught tough and complicated topics in an easy way and most importantly, a syllabus that led to practical development. We studied various syllabuses, out of which Trinity College London syllabuses proved to be the best. Trinity syllabuses fulfilled all the requirements whether a student wanted to learn music as a hobby or pursue it as a career.
Is it too time-consuming?/ is the duration too long?
Trinity syllabuses have a solution to this belief. If a student wants to complete learning music fast, he/she can practice more and complete more grades, and thus, can appear for multiple grades in a single exam session. It means that if he/she works hard, he/she can complete the course faster.
Along with this, we found out another solution to this belief. We started providing each student personal training so that the teacher can concentrate more on the learning method of the student aiming to better results and the student won’t have to wait for other students to complete their work. We also increased the number of teachers in each batch.
Is it boring?
Trinity syllabuses have been designed keeping in mind each and every age group. Besides, syllabus changes are made at regular intervals i.e. every 4-6 years in order to update the syllabus according to current trend. The internationally famous pieces are placed in order to maintain the interest of the student. Thus, everyone likes this syllabus.
Learning music as a hobby is good, but there is nothing much in it to pursue as a career. Is it true?
Currently, our students are working in the music industries either part time or full time and they are also performing internationally. They are extremely satisfied with this stream. The music industry is developing very fast these days. Each day is emerging with lots of new career opportunities like working as a Music Composer, Music Arranger, Sound Engineer, Sound Designer, Lyricist, Music Editor, Music Event Manager or Organizer etc.
Is it that the certificate can be achieved by everyone, but only a god-gifted person can actually learn it well and perform it?
Creation is very different from other institutes at this belief. If a student is learning music from grade to grade but, in the end if he/she cannot sing or play whatever he/she wants to, it is useless. We take pride in saying that almost all the students who learnt from our institute can now play or sing any song on their own, no matter what language it is or whether it is old or new. Once the student completes the course, he/she doesn’t require anyone’s help. They can arrange the lead, chord, rhythm etc. themselves. Many students also prepare their own albums using the music technologies.
Is it essential to know how to play Harmonium for learning Keyboard?
This is a very old belief. On thinking about this, a question arose to my mind that did all those international artists learn harmonium before learning keyboard? Thus, we tried teaching keyboard without harmonium and we didn’t find it necessary to learn harmonium before keyboard and out of those students, many are professional keyboard players.
Is it possible to learn all the playing techniques from a single place or syllabus?
Another plus point of the Trinity syllabus is that doing this syllabus grade by grade enables the student to learn every music technique because it has been designed by the world’s topmost artists. Also, according to trend and time, changes are made to the syllabus at regular intervals to maintain the interest of the syllabus.
Is it necessary to purchase an instrument to learn music?
It depends on what instrument you learn. If you are learning keyboard, you don’t need to purchase it for the first level but if you are learning guitar, you have to purchase it because guitars are handmade. So, it is necessary for one to practice it in his/her guitar. Our teachers will guide you about it. There are many benefits of having an instrument at home. They are:
- Repetition can be done at home which saves your time at the institute.
- You can practice at home during holidays.
- Performances at various events are possible.
- You can practice more and complete more grades.
