FIVE ELEMENTS: A Holistic Method for Accelerated Learning in the 21st Century

​

The 5 Elements are ​

1. Piano

2. Theory 

3. Ear training

4. Music appreciation

5. Rhythm

All these five are combined in every lesson in short segments of five minutes each.

This approach has 2 clear advantages:

A) This variety holds the attention of the most fidgety child. 

​

B) The child's genuine understanding is strengthened from a variety of angles. This builds a solid musical foundation. After the foundation is secure, progress is quick and enjoyable. (No need for guessing, bluffing or panic). 

​

In 5 Elements Piano Training (Levels 1–3), the music notation has been specially redesigned for young beginners, giving a smooth start to their piano learning.
 

5 Elements Music Training (Levels 1–3) contain beautifully illustrated stories to spark the child's imagination. This helps "get the child onboard", making the music journey more joyful. 

5 Elements Teaching Manuals (Levels 1–3) accompany the student books and present all music in conventional notation. They offer clear, structured guidance for teaching all five segments of the lesson, supporting teachers with a detailed roadmap.
