1.) What kind of piano/keyboard should I get?

- If the student already has a piano of any kind, there is no need to buy a new one.

- If the student is planning on pursuing mastery on the piano the following features must be considered when buying a new keyboard:

  • Number of keys, preferably 88
  • Weighted Keys
  • Touch Response
  • Sustain Pedal

2.) I'm willing to buy. Do you have any recommended models?

  • Kawai Es110
  • Casiotone CT-S200 
  • Casiotone CT-S300 
  • Alesis Recital 88-Key Digital Piano.

3.) Are we going to use

4.) Do I need a computer?

- Preferably but not required. A larger screen will help out during discussions and activities.

5.) Will putting labels on my piano keys be helpful in learning how to play it?

- If you are just starting out, yes, the labels will help you memorize the names of the keys. But, as you progress, you will no longer have the need for labels, therefore use sticker labels for piano keys that can be removed later on, instead of permanently writing on the keys with a marker or something similar.

Music in the Bible

Apart from teaching musical concepts and disciplines to young students for free,
MCGI Music School champions the value of making and singing songs dedicated to the Almighty — how music is tackled in the Scriptures and its relevance to a person’s life. 

“Music is older than the world and praise songs are the oldest of musical kinds.” (Job 38:7)

“If we hear lyrics, music, and notes being used in many different ways, it is most important to use these for their greatest purpose, and that is in the praise of the Lord.”
— Brother Daniel Razon
