​ALL  CHILDREN HAVE TALENT

 
Children learn to speak their  mother tongue by listening and imitating mother's voice. 

Children learn to speak  by being surrounded by language. 
Japanese children learn to speak Japanese; Italian children learn to speak Italian and so on.This same process is used to teach music. Children are immersed by music from the beginning of life ( as a matter of fact, from the womb).                 
As they listen to high quality performance & recordings, they develop sensitivity, familiarity to the music they learn. Hence, the  love of music is being nurtured.
The environment  determines the success(or failure) of the child.

  Mother Tongue Approach
  • Learning begins at an early age.
  • Each new skill is broken into small steps.
  • Each step is mastered before a new step is introduced.
  • The rate of progress is dictated by the child.
  • No drop outs.
  • Success yields success.
  •  Children learn and grow through genuine praise and  continuous support.

​REVIEW and FOCUS

​
  • Parents and children focus on HOW they play rather than  WHAT they play. Tone quality is number one priority.
  • Just as children retain their vocabulary in a spoken  language and gradually bring it to a level  of unconscious competence, so they do to maintain their musical vocabulary -the repertoire.
  • "Beautiful tone - beautiful heart"​    is the key.
  • Review is fundamental . Students play the previous repertoire and refine their level of mastery ( the same as in acquisition of language).
  • The sense of community and support is maintained throughout.  Children enjoy making music together.

​THE ROLE of the PARENT


​Parents are the most important link in the learning process .
  • Parents are the first and most influential people in the line of teachers and educators their children will  encounter throughout their lives.
  • Parents deserve to have the best tools to facilitate the child's musical growth and whole development in other areas of life.
  • Parent Education Training is given to every parent in our program.
  • Parent and teacher work in a team.
