Introduction

Theme’s Leisure Playing Program is a unique course designed for adults and teenagers who wish to learn the piano. This program makes piano playing more enjoyable and rewarding by using vast and popular repertoire including Christmas carols, Hollywood chart toppers across decades, movie theme songs and a lot more. By using such engaging repertoire, we move beyond the typical academic and exam-oriented approach and give students the opportunity to explore musical concepts with practical relevance. Students are also provided with ample performance opportunities to share their skill and growth, and experience collaborating with other musicians.

The pieces in this program are played with lively and carefully designed backing tracks that create an exciting and thriving classroom experience. The group learning format also contributes to peer motivation and helps students perform and explore new music together. 

Students enrol as beginners entering the program into one of the following three age levels (Entry Points). Each group batch consists of students in the same Entry Point.

Annual Concerts and quarterly recitals provide our students with a platform to perform, in front of a large audience of parents, relatives and friends, thus introducing them to the world of performance. Students are also encouraged to participate in our annual competitions and quizzes which provides them with exposure to students from across all Theme Centers nationally. Leisure Play students are considered to be a part of the contemporary music department and participate in all external venue recitals with guitar and voice students.

All students are required to complete performance objectives during their level as part of their assessments.

Entry Point 1: Ages 13 to 15 years

Entry Point 2: Ages 16 to 22 years

Entry Point 3: Ages 23 onwards

Each level of the program is devised keeping in mind the London College of Music Examination benchmarks.

Each level consists of 45-minute solo sessions plus 1-hour group sessions, progress analysis classes, recital classes, special performances and concerts and provides every student with an equal opportunity to perform and get assessed at the highest international standards.
