“I propose that the reading and understanding of music be taught to our children from the very beginning of their school life; that they learn to participate with enthusiasm in the study of music from kindergarten through high school. No child is tone deaf; every child has the natural ability and desire to assimilate musical ideas and comprehend their combinations into musical forms. Every child can be taught to read music as he or she is taught to read words; and there is no reason why both kinds of reading cannot be taught simultaneously.

...Children must receive musical instruction as naturally as food, and with as much pleasure as they derive from a baseball game. And this must happen from the beginning of their school lives.”

Leonard Bernstein, New York City, 1977

Everyone from my class is happy after completing the year with a succesful piano recital. Proud and grateful to see how everyone progressed throughout the year and how they improved from last concert. I am looking forward to our next lessons in the coming year and to many events of this kind!

Why do I have to practice scales? "There are two areas where practicing technical exercises is beneficial. This includes pattern recognition and secondly, precision and control....

This last Sunday, we organised a recital for the students that were ready to play, after months of practicing. I was happy to hear some of my students playing for the first time in front of an audience. Everyone did an amazing job and I couldn't be more proud ! I am looking forward to our next recital, at the end of the school year.
