Driven by Creativity
"Creativity is best thought of as a mode of motivation, rather than an outcome of instruction"
Driven by Creativity – Creative Teaching and Learning is at the heart of SmallGiant Music. As every child has different learning needs, our team at SGM tailors every lesson to each child, ensuring that they make progress and build on their strengths. Through our Creative Teaching and Learning, students will experience the joy that music brings while making progress on their chosen instrument. SGM is committed to guide your child – developing key musical and life skills to achieve success in their own unique ways!
Their Creativity
Creative thinking and learning are at the heart of our music education for your child. At SmallGiant Music, we join our students in discovering their musical interests and drive. We inspire their imagination and guide them through the world of music. Creativity is a form of motivation instead of an outcome of instruction.
Their Motivation
Fueled by creativity, self-determination and intrinsic motivation is what we are committed to instilling in your child’s music education.
Music sessions will set out to fulfil the 3 basic psychological needs – competency, relatedness and autonomy. (Ryan & Deci, 2000)
It is our responsibility to ensure that every child feels competent and connected to the musical goal that they desire.
Their Future
We know that not every child will pursue music as their career but we believe in the cognitive benefits that music education possesses.
Music education at a young age can improve your child’s spatial reasoning abilities, motor coordination and problem-solving techniques.
Whether you have an aspiring engineer, doctor or policeman; the benefits of music education will improve the quality of life of your child and those around him/her.
