In Levels 4, 5 and 6 students continue to strengthen their musicianship, and add another 25 or so Foundation Program pieces to their repertoire. In addition to this, composition, improvisation, arrangement and accompaniment projects are regularly and routinley being worked on. During this phase we introduce the process of 'fragmenting' which further develops students' ability to work with more complex pieces in the playing-based environment. In addition to this, 2nd-year students typically begin the process of writing and reading music.

Level 4
|
In this and subsequent Levels, although there is increasing complexity within the music itself, students continue to focus on 'learning a way of learning.' Naturally, the skills acquired in doing this can be applied to learning any other instrument, or any other subject. Here is a small selection of Level 4 pieces.
|
 'Lullaby'
|
'Sonata in C'
|
'Squidgies Boogie'
|
Level 5
|
During Level 5 we continue to consolidate the playing-based process, integrating more complex and mature-sounding blues, classical and jazz-style pieces.
|
'Shoo-fly'
|
'Für Elise' (Original A Section)
|
'Sit By My Side'
|
Level 6
|
As we move into Level 6, students are continuing to build their repertoire, strengthen their ability to read and write music, further develop the Accompaniment, Composition and Arrangement processes and generally improve their musicianship. Here are some of the pieces learned during this Level.
|
'Ballade'
|
'One More Time'

'The Gaz'
