CMC Music school offers many programs. Our main program uses the Suzuki method for its violin, cello, piano and guitar instructions. We also offer orchestra, children’s choir, vocal lesson, viola lesson, early childhood music program, and piano lessons for special needs children.

• The Suzuki method, developed by Shinichi Suzuki, involves teaching very young children. The approach is based on the assumption that all children can learn music in much the same way that they learn their native language.
• Through listening and imitation along with a positive nurturing environment created by parents and family, the ability of the child develops. Therefore, the success of this program depends on the parents or main caregivers.
• The method requires parental participation during the lesson and in daily home practice as well. In general, a commitment of parental time is required. Parents or a responsible adult (family member) attend lessons with students in the CMC Suzuki Program. CMC reserves the right to dismiss students in the case of non-participation of a parent/adult

Suzuki Focus

There are four components of our Suzuki Program :

• Observation – new families are encouraged to observe both a private lesson and a group class.
• Parent Education – in this course, parents gain a thorough understanding of the Suzuki philosophy and method of instrumental music teaching.
• Private Lessons – develop good playing posture, tone, technique and expression.
• Group Classes – develop ensemble playing, a review of repertoire, ear-training, singing and rhythm activities; music reading and music games.

A parent or a guardian is encouraged to attend lessons with the child. The adult will also learn the rudiments of playing the instrument and will be encouraged to attend parent workshops. An observation is required for 3 and 4 year old beginners before entering the program. Most classes are taught in Bahasa Indonesia or in English.

Camerata Indonesia (CI – known as Lippo Karawaci Community Orchestra) is a community string orchestra that rehearses once a week and performs a wide repertoire of music from classical to modern genres. The orchestra itself is a gathering point for musicians from Jakarta and Tangerang area, and it’s made of teachers, students, amateurs, professionals and community members. The Orchestra is now available at Community Music Center Lippo Village, Tangerang, and Community Music Center Kelapa Gading, Jakarta.

The Capriccioso Children’s Choir is made up of three separate choirs comprised of the younger members of our community which are Bluebirds Choir (6-11yrs), Rainbow Choir (9-15 yrs) and Cantare Choir (12yrs and above).  Children that are interested to join us will go through an audition and the child’s singing and musical abilities will also help determine which choir they will join.

The word Capriciosso is Italian, which means “playful” and “lively”. We encourage the children in our choirs to make new friends and learn to sing in a way that makes it fun and enjoyable. We believe that making music a part of the children’s lives is very important as musical abilities have been proven to help students with their studies, and more importantly, it makes them happier individuals.

As a part of the Community Music Center, Capriccioso Children’s Choir have performed in numerous concerts and events both within and outside Lippo Village. Our youths in Cantare Choir have even taken part in choir events and festivals in Bandung, Bali, and even abroad to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).
