Teach Understanding

Our Method

1

foundation

we start by introducing foundational principles one at a time. Starting with these 'big picture' ideas, the student has a better footing to build their musical understanding upon.

2

exploration

The student and teacher explore each principle in depth together. This allows the student to develop connections and retain the information in a unique and personal way.

3

integration

As more and more of these foundation principles are presented and explored, the student begins to combine the various ideas together to grasp the full picture of music.

John Paul has boiled down learning the piano to 100 fundamental principles. Each principle builds upon the last to create a rock-solid musical foundation.
