Step #1 Introduction and Rapport Building Time Duration (in mins)

(Get the student to open up and make them 5 mins
smile!)
Hello, my name is <Teacher Name> and I am going to help you learn Music! I promise this
will be a fun class and you will discover how amazing it is to learn Music just like I did.
May I know your name?

<Wait for student response>
That’s a nice name! Have you learnt any Music before?

<If the student has learnt Music ask them to play something on their instrument and
appreciate enthusiastically>
I’m curious to know why you want to learn Music or what got you interested in learning
Music?
<Wait for student response and understand student motivations>
That’s really nice. Let me tell you what kind of Music I like and after that I would love to
hear from you too.
<Teacher shares the kind of Music or songs they like to listen to - favourite band, songs,
interesting memories of performances, first song they learnt.
So that’s about me. What kind of Music do YOU like to listen to?
<Tell the student that they could learn their favourite song or movie theme through the
course>
<If the teacher knows any of the student’s favourite songs then they play them>

Step #2 Teacher Performance Time Duration (in mins)
(Teacher performs for the student to help 5 mins
them relax and to show them your skill)
I’ve got a little surprise performance for you. Why don’t you sit back and enjoy and I’ll
play some Music for you. After that you can tell me what you liked the most, OK?
<Perform 2 to 3 songs and for each song give a brief introduction about the song>
Did you like that?

Thank you. Which song did you like the most and what did you like about it?
<Wait for student response and appreciate their response enthusiastically>
It’s amazing isn’t it? You need sugar to taste something sweet or a flower to smell
something nice but with Music you can feel so many different emotions just by listening!

Step #3 The Missing Music Director Time Duration (in mins)
(Fun activity to understand how music and 15 mins
emotion are related)
So let’s do a fun activity which will help you understand the different emotions that
Music can evoke within us.
My friend is making a movie but his Music Director is missing! Do you want to help out?
<Wait for response>
Awesome! Let’s get started.
Imagine that you are making a movie. It’s not going to be a nice movie if it has no music
right? So in this activity, you are going to see different scenes from a movie and we will
compose the background score for the movie.
Can you please click the activity called ‘The Missing Music Director’?
First, let us enter your name.

<This is important. Activity will not start without this step.>
Scene 1:
<Use the script below to explain the scenes being shown on the screen and feel free to
add more drama to it as you narrate!>
So this movie is about a boy named Jim. He is on a holiday and is traveling on a ship to
visit his grandparents. It’s his first time on a ship and he is having a lot of fun! He gets to
see all the rooms in the ship, the different types of fishes in the sea and the captain also
lets him steer the ship!
So I’d like you to listen to the choices there and tell me which kind of music would you
choose for these scenes?
<As the student browses through the tracks, discuss the reason why they choose or
skipped a particular track. You can add to the fun by asking them:
● Which of their favourite movie scenes would they choose that track for?
● What does a particular track remind them of?
● Which instrument do they think is playing in that track?
● What kind of instrument would they use for a scene like this?>

Scene 2
Great choice! Now in the next part of the movie something really sad has happened. The
ship runs into a storm and then crashes into large rocks and sinks. Thankfully, Jim knows
how to swim so he swims to a nearby island. But he is all alone on that large island
without any friends and there are many other wild animals on it too. He is really sad,
scared and feels completely lost.
Slide 3
After a few days Jim is tired of being scared and sad all the time. He decides to be a
brave boy and is determined to get back home and meet his family. At that moment, he
gets an amazing idea. He sees all those trees on the island and decides to make his own
boat! He had luckily found some tools in all the things that washed up to the shore after
the ship crashed. He makes his own boat and then bravely sets sail, all by himself,
determined to cross the large sea and make it back home! Isn’t that really courageous?
I’d like you to imagine this and tell me which music would you choose for this?

Slide 4
After bravely rowing his boat for many days and nights and battling many storms he
finally reaches home! Imagine his joy when he finally got to meet his family and all his
parents! Everyone was thrilled to see Jim and couldn’t believe that he came back. Jim
tells everyone the story of how he made it out of the island and rowed the boat all by
himself across the deep sea to get back home. Everybody feels really proud of Jim and he
becomes a hero!
Now, tell me which music would you choose for this?
That was amazing! It’s now time to sit back and enjoy the movie for which you’ve given
the music. Are you ready?
<Ask the student to hit ‘Play’ and the movie will play for 1 min>
Wow! I loved that movie. Did you enjoy it?
Awesome. Here’s a little surprise for you since you showed such amazing creativity.
<You can give the student a ‘Creativity Hat’ as a reward for their imagination!>
<Ask the student not to close the browser with the movie activity as the activity can be
shown to parent during the pitch>

Step #4 Happy Birthday Remix Time Duration: 20 mins
(Students perform a remix of the Happy
Birthday song on MusiQuest)
When we learn music we learn how to express our emotions through different songs.
Just like a pizza which has many ingredients and depending on what you choose to add
you get a different kind of pizza!
Similarly, there are many ingredients which we use in music and today I will introduce the
two most important ingredients!
Understanding Melody
The first ingredient is called Melody. This is the tune that you hum when you are singing
a song. This tune sets the mood for the song and can make it happy or sad. Do you want
to see?
<Play C-major i.e. C-E-G once and then C-minor ie. C-Eb-G and ask the student what
difference did they feel?>
Can you hum a happy and sad sounding melody for me?
<Encourage student to respond and make up a melody>
Great!
Understanding Rhythm
The second ingredient is called rhythm. Rhythm is a repeating pattern and depending on
how fast the pattern is it also gives the Music a sense of speed. For example, when a train
is pulling off the station you hear a slow choo-choo-choo but when it is speeding you
hear the same choo-choo-choo faster.
So for a train, the rhythm is choo-choo-choo!
Can you tell me the rhythm for a marching band?

<Wait for response and congratulate for correct answer or guide them towards it>
Even a simple rhythm with a drum or a pen or a spoon can be Music without any melody.
Just the way you might make a pizza with just cheese! Listen to this!

<Orally or with a nearby object perform a simple percussion like a drum beat>
Do you also want to try it? Go ahead, it’s a lot of fun!

<Encourage the child to perform and ask them to change tempo to further explain the
difference between fast and slow rhythm>
To help you understand Melody and Rhythm better we are going to do another fun
activity. This time we will create a remix of the famous Happy Birthday song and you can
choose which type of version you want!
Please click on the Happy Birthday Remix activity link that you can see on your screen on
the right hand side.
<The student will see the screen below. If not, ask the student to close that browser and
click on the activity link again. Sometimes this takes 2 attempts. Student can click on
arrows at the bottom of the screen to navigate and check all the options>
So here are your options, which one do you think you will like the most?
1. Hip Hop
2. Tropical - as if you are celebrating your birthday on a beach
3. Techno - this has a groovy and dance like mood
4. Rock!

<Start the Happy Birthday quest based on the student’s choice and start guiding the
student to explore different musical instruments and have fun with the groove!
<Melody Section
The Melody comes first and the student can click on the dotted box suggestions and hear
it along the way. Let the student get an intuitive sense of the way notes go high and low
as per the melody.
Once all the dotted boxes are clicked they can hit the play button and hear the melody
and if required also change the instrument by clicking on the Melody icon on the right
side. If satisfied, ask student to click on the blue arrow to go to the Rhythm section.
Remember: The next arrow will appear only after all dotted boxes have been clicked.
Rhythm Section
In this section the student adds drums to the music.
Tip: Let the music keep playing as the student adds drums. The drums section is more
complex so some kids may not enjoy it without the background music.

Once completed, encourage them to try other drum kits.
If satisfied, ask the student to click on the blue arrow to complete the song.
Wow! That’s a really nice version of Happy Birthday! Can you click on the blue arrow and
we can save it.
I loved how you stayed focused throughout the activity. So here you go!
<You can give the student a hat for ‘Concentration’ as a reward for their focus!>
Remember: The next arrow will appear only after all dotted boxes have been clicked.
On clicking the blue arrow the student sees a pop-up that looks like this.

Remember: The student should click on ‘Save Song’ otherwise it will not be saved.
Tip: If there are more than 25 mins left in the trial class then you can also try to Harmony
/ Chords / Bass to the composition OTHERWISE PROCEED TO WRAP-UP AND PITCH.
You were really fast, shall we add some bass to this music to make it even more fun?
Great, let me show you how to do that.
After clicking on ‘Save Song’ click on ‘Exit’ and you will see a screen that looks like this:

Guide the student to click on the Red Arrow on the top left side.
This will take you to the main account page which looks like this:
Next, the student should click on the ‘My Library’ icon at the bottom of the screen which
will take you to the library that has the song created by the student.

Ask the student to click on the song created by them and it will take you back to the song
and all other options will be available to add Harmony / Bass / Chords.
Explore further and when it is time for wrap up ask the student to click on the ‘Home’
icon on the top right to save the song.
That’s amazing! You can now send it as a musical greeting card to your friends!

Step #5 Wrap up and pitch (mandatory) Time duration: 15 mins
(Convince the parent about the course and
encourage them to enroll the student)
I had a lot of fun today! Did you enjoy the class too?
<Wait for student response and reaction>
Let us quickly summarize what we learnt in the class today:

● Effect of Music on emotions - It can make you feel sad or happy and you can do
that by deciding which ingredient of Music you want to use
● Melody - The most important ingredient of Music and this is what you sing
● Rhythm - The repeating pattern that you hear in music
Remember to share your Happy Birthday song with your friends! I think it sounds great
and they will love it.
Now I would like to have a word with your parents. Would you mind calling your mother
or father?
Teachers can use the script below for their pitch depending on the time available.
Suggested Elevator Pitch (If you have less than 5 mins with the parent)
<Student Name> was wonderful in the class today. I really enjoyed the class too! Let me
tell you about the course in brief.
Perform for Music has a very modern, performance and creativity based curriculum.
Students learn music through songs they choose, there are around 15 to 20 live
performance opportunities for them in which they perform before a global audience and
they learn up to 35 songs.
There are around 25 different music related games that students can access after the
class which improve their rhythm skills, listening skills and note knowledge.

The program also has many global opportunities for children like publishing their music
on Spotify, iTunes, and 150 other global music streaming platforms and participating in
global events like Note Ninja, Groove Master etc.
Talented children get to spend 4 weeks at a top global music institute and it is fully
funded by the company.
I would love to teach <Student Name> before my slots fill up. The Academic Counsellor
will call you after the class to share more details about the course and how to enroll.
Thank you and have a good day!
Suggested Detailed Pitch (If you have more than 5 mins with the parent)
<Open the wrap up pitch by clicking on the ‘Slides’ option on the panel>
Hello Sir / Madam, hope you are doing well. I had a blast with <Student name> today.
May I know why you are considering a Music course for <Student name>?
<Wait for response>
That’s very interesting. Let me also share something really interesting we found about
the impact of Music on early childhood.
Slide 2 - Why Learn Music Early On

Music has a huge impact on character traits of children like grit, motivation and
willingness to do creative pursuits. I especially like the point about Grit because in Music
children rarely get anything correct the first time. They have to stay at it and finally they
learn and then really enjoy the feeling of having learnt something new.
Even in academics, there is research that suggests that children who undergo intensive
music instrument learning are on an average 1 year ahead of their peers.

Slide 3 - Einstein and his Violin
I’m sure you recognized the picture. This is Einstein. Whenever you think about him you
probably imagine him in a lab doing some experiment.
But did you know that he was actually a very good violin player? He lovingly called his
violin ‘Lina’! Einstein started learning the violin when he was six years old.
He did not make all his amazing discoveries because he learnt violin but his son
mentioned clearly in a memoir that Einstein played the violin as a way to help him
whenever he felt that he was stuck or in a bad situation.
In fact, Einstein used to arrange for recitals at his home where he would invite well
known musicians to come and play.
We believe this is a great example of how Music can be a companion for life and become
a source of passion and inspiration which is always there with the student.
Slide 4 - Develop a lifelong passion for Music

As a summary, here are a few things that students do as a part of the course.
Regular recital events in which the students perform before other students and their
families and it is a global audience. It really boosts the confidence of students.
Course encourages students to compose and improvise right from the first class. In fact,
even today in the trial class, we created a fun remix of the Happy Birthday song,
<If the student is nearby you can ask them to play the Happy Birthday Remix or replay
the movie from the movie activity>
We encourage children to choose songs they like and build technical skills through those
songs.
Lastly, the main purpose of the course is to make instrument learning really enjoyable.
There are over 25 different games that students have access to which build their listening
skills, rhythm skills and ability to read music.

Slide 5 - Rewarding Global Opportunities
Company has a global reach so the course has been designed for a global audience. It has
many exciting projects and contests that are not in any other music course, for example:
● After 48 classes students compose the background score for an audiobook and
publish it on Audible (part of Amazon)
● After 144 classes they compose their own single and publish it on Spotify, iTunes
and over 150 global music streaming platforms
● There are also global contests like Note Ninja, Groove Master etc where students
win exciting rewards
● Lastly, there is a special program for talented students in which they go to the
campus of a top global institute for a 4-week course and this is fully paid by the
company
Slide 6 - Course Structure

This is the course structure. There are 3 levels in the course.
Discovery Level has 4 classes:

● Created to build an interest for music learning among students
● Students use an award winning audio workstation called MusiQuest
● Explore different instruments
● Learn fundamentals of music like melody, rhythm, harmony etc and create a
lullaby, a rock song, an ice cream commercial and a classical song too
If the student is sure about the instrument they would like to learn then you can start
directly with the Novice Level.
Novice Level has 48 classes:

● Build a strong foundation in the instrument
● Basic music theory
● Compose simple music and are able to express themselves through Music
Mastery Level has 144 classes:

● Students develop advanced skills
● Compose well structured music

● Become very adept at delivering live performances. After this level students are
usually well prepared to play in their school or college bands.
I have more details about the curriculum for <Piano / Guitar> and will be happy to walk
you through it if you are curious to know more.
<Wait for response and if the parent is curious share more details about the curriculum
which are in the later slides>
Thank you again for your time. I hope you got all the details you needed to consider
enrolling <student name>. I strongly recommend that you start as soon as you can.
Childhood is the best time to learn music and it is also when they benefit the most from
it!
I eagerly look forward to starting the classes with <student name>.
Good bye!
<Mark class as completed>
