This unique method has children, teens, adults and seniors, playing great sounding blues, classical, contemporary and accompaniment pieces - immediately - from their very first lessons.
In stark contrast to traditional methods that require students to learn music-reading as the means of learning to play, Simply Music temporarily delays music-reading and introduces a revolutionary, 'playing-based' methodology.
For centuries, traditional methods have required that students learn to read music as the means of learning how to play. The sad result is that this 'read first, play later' approach is slow and frustrating.
Expecting students to read music before they have learned how to play, is like expecting children to read and spell before they have learned how to talk! In fact, we all talked for years before we learned how to read and spell.
Similarly, the Simply Music programme temporarily delays the music reading process. Beginning students, with no need to have their attention on music reading, are free to relate directly to the piano. Within months, they experience a real freedom with their playing and develop a deep connection to their instrument as they build an extraordinary repertoire
Unlike learning by rote, this program is tactile, experiential and multi-sensory, with students being physically, visually and aurally absorbed. After building a repertoire of 35 to 50 pieces covering a broad range of musical styles, students go on to learn Simply Music's unique approach to reading music, as well as develop a powerful foundation for learning the more formal aspects of music education.
As one of the most experienced teachers of this programme, Kerry Hanley is a Senior Associate Teacher and a Senior Teacher Trainer. She has been teaching piano since 1989. Having studied and taught traditionally for years, Kerry began teaching Simply Music in 1998 and continues to see unprecedented results with students.
