When you’re searching for a music teacher for your child, you want to get a feel for the teacher. What is a lesson like? What’s their philosophy? What can I expect?
We have taught hundreds of kids in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn over the last decade. The secret to our success is in the fun we bring to the lessons right from the start.
If you hated piano lessons when you were a kid, this is not your old lessons. It’s a complete reversal. We work using a child-centric approach. What would a child love to learn in a first lesson?
By focusing on fun while sneaking in technique, we can build technical facility in our students very quickly. Within 15 minutes, they will be playing a song using all 10 fingers.
Here’s a video of just one part of our first lesson. We use the Musicolor Method® which was created right here in Park Slope, Brooklyn and is now being taught by teachers all over the world. For more info, check the website for Musicolor Method here.
The Musicolor Method® was originally designed for young children, even preliterate ones. But it has been used successfully with older students as well even teens and adults. For the older students, we just explain that these are finger exercises in disguise and the sooner you master them, the quicker we’ll be playing your favorite Taylor Swift, or Imagine Dragons or Stevie Wonder song…whatever.
We’ll be posting videos of all of our teachers soon. Until then, be sure to register for a free phone consultation to discuss your child’s specific needs, desires and their music experience level.
