Making Music Matter

11/12/2015

It's obvious that Music Matters. Go to a church meeting with no music. Go to a movie with no music. Watch your favorite TV show with no music. In these moments music serves an important purpose. Whether it adds texture and meaning to the images we view or it helps us emotionally connect with what is going on, music has a capacity to affect us in a powerful way. In all the instances described all we are is a spectator to music, but we can also be a participant.

The non-musical benefits connected to music come from learning how to play it - not just listening. Music is a way for people to express themselves. It is an emotional outlet. It is an exercise for both the creative and analytical parts of the brain.

The point is, music matters. It is up to us to remember that and to spread the benefits of music to all that we can.

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?)
