Certified Course

Certified course is offered from London based Trinity Guildhall (Trinity College London's performing arts examinations division). Trinity guildhall offers internationally recognised graded musical qualifications. These are in the form of grades. The grades are numbered 1-8 and increase in difficulty the higher the number.

Non-Certified Course

EFMF also offers a non-certified course for working professionals, house wives, people who wish to learn Piano or Keyboard as a hobby and people looking to learn contemporary music. But at the same time, this course also offers limitless scope for musical expression to those willing to devote the time and practice to it. The course can, therefore, be used either as an introductory guide to the first steps of learning to play the instrument or as the basis for a more serious study of music theory, music notation and more advanced techniques.

The course includes 8 (Eight) months of Beginners program, 6 (Six) months of Intermediate program and 6 (Six) months of Advance training in contemporary music.

Learning to play the Piano or Keyboard is largely a process of committing skills to instinct, of developing the necessary motor skills or what is sometimes known as "finger memory". And only way to achieve this by practicing - repeating the same thing over and over until it becomes automatic!!.
