A Few Things that a Traditional Piano Teacher Might Not Know or Want You to Know.

6/4/2014

On days that we’re feeling confrontational and wondering why there aren’t millions of teachers and piano students visiting our websites, we try to cause trouble.  Well, at least we try to cause dissatisfaction.  Why?  Because we believe, along with one of the James boys (William, Henry or Jesse), that “every good thing results from a dissatisfaction.”  If you really think about it, isn’t it true?  Those that are satisfied don’t seem to be interested in fixing or correcting or improving anything.  Remember the milk ad?  “Our milk comes from contented cows”.  A competitor responded: “Our cows are never contented.  They’re always anxious to do better”.

That’s how we feel about the products and processes that are used to teach piano.  We’ve often said, if anyone is going to make our products and processes obsolete, we want to be the ones to do it.

We hope to make some teachers and some parents of music students dissatisfied or at least “anxious to do better!”

So here are a few things that a traditional piano teacher might not know or want you to know.

That you can learn to improvise and play by ear while you’re learning to read music…

That you can start lessons as young as 4 years old…

That in the first few weeks you can play big-sounding  pieces that are two or three years earlier than expected…

That you can learn useful chords and improvisational theory in a few lessons – 52 relevant chords in a very short period of time . . .

That a 1/2 hour private, living room lesson might not be the most effective or efficient…

    our ideas

    "THE TYPICAL PIANO LESSON METHOD IS ALL WRONG": This was the comment from an experienced Broadway pianist when talked with him about developing the musical skills that he had. He was a proficient reader and an improviser.

    We offer a unique lesson format that is exciting, competitive and affordable in a high-tech studio environment. We promise that you will be learning big sounding pieces 2-3 years in advance! Our method is perfect for adults too!

    PIANO STUDENTS SHOULD LEARN MORE THAN MUSIC READING: Learning to read music is critical but we want out students to be able to create and improvise as well! We want to produce musicians not just piano players. Our materials emphasize ear training, improvisational skills how to learn and use the chords that an experienced stylist or arranger would know.

    WHEN IT COMES TO LEARNING MUSIC, THE EARLIER THE BETTER!: We have proven that a child at the age of 4 is able to learn serious musical skills and concepts through our Early Childhood program. Currently, 1100+ articles that describe the research suggest that there are non-musical benefits to learning music at an early age.

    YOU COULD TEACH IT YOURSELF: Whether you are familiar with music or not, our easy to follow materials in addition to our free teacher training will allow you to teach yourself or your child in your own home. You could even open your own studio!
    It’s easy to become your child’s 1st music teacher. (Title for some emails?)
