Simply Music is a playing-based, multi-sensory approach to music education, recommended for students of aged from 7 – 97+
To understand how the playing-based method works, consider a child learning his, or her, native language. He learned to speak the language long before reading and writing it. The child experimented with sounds, words, phrases and sentences: exploring how they feel and how they fit together; discovering what does and doesn’t work. It’s only later, once the child has a grasp of speech, that we introduce the spelling, grammar and rules of the language. Simply Music approaches piano in a similar way. Students learn to PLAY the piano first, allowing them to discover and develop their musicality before focusing on the theory and technical elements of music.
Students develop freedom and an ease of playing while building a great sounding repertoire, covering many musical genres such as contemporary, classical, blues, accompaniments and jazz through a variety of playing-based tools and techniques. Combined with digital home materials, these tools make learning a fun and easy, affirming experience that is later applied to understanding music notation and theory.
You may have a child who is looking to start their first music lessons or in need of an alternative approach. You may be an adult who always wanted to learn but never had the time or opportunity to give it a go until now. Whatever your situation, the Simply Music program is suitable for students of all ages.
