In terms of presentation, Practical Homeschool Magazine, philosophy – you name it – there is nothing out there that compares at all.” Mary Pride. Here’s one that has it all. Some were thorough. Some were clever. Some were fun. I love the Simply Music approach." Dr Anne Margaret Wright (Psy.D.) Educational Consultant “I have seen a lot of music programs over the years. I also think it could be a major breakthrough for children with a variety of cognitive delays and learning difficulties. Even if you don't consider yourself musically inclined, this program is for you. They think they are hot stuff." Rebecca Neis "This is a wonderful music program and the results are astounding!. The boys are already playing the blues. Not just 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' and 'Mary Had a Little Lamb', but real music. They have had just 12 lessons with Simply Music and already know 12 songs. Who can benefit from learning with the Simply Music Program? - Children, Teens, Adults and Seniors - Total beginners - Students with prior experience - People with special needs, including cognitive delays and physical limitations - People who believe they are not musical Testimonials "My boys are 8 and 10. With Simply Music, you experience the pleasure and satisfaction that comes from playing a huge repertoire of great-sounding music. In fact, expecting children to read music before they have learned how to play is like expecting them to read before they have learned how to talk! In stark contrast to traditional methods, Simply Music temporarily delays the reading process and introduces a revolutionary 'playing-based' approach - a vast array of unique concepts that unfold directly onto the keyboard and produce unprecedented results. This removes the natural connection between the student and the instrument - and commonly, it removes all the fun too. Traditional piano methods insist that beginning students learn to read music as the means of learning how to play. The 'hands-on' nature of the program and the immediate results that are produced actively dispel the notion that learning to play means enduring years of lessons, boring practice sessions and relentless hours of scales and arpeggios. Simply Music focuses on the fun and sheer pleasure of playing the piano. This unique approach has students of all ages playing contemporary, classical, blues and accompaniment pieces immediately - from their very first lessons. Ages from 7 to 97. Simply Music is a revolutionary piano and keyboard method that offers a breakthrough in music education. I teach piano to anyone who has ever wanted to learn. (more).
