Many teachers complain that children have become more jumpy, with short attention spans. Reimagining Music is a new method of teaching music, specially designed for this new generation of fidgety children.

​

1) Lesson Planning shows you how all 5 Elements can be integrated into a single class, using segments of 5 minutes each. Juicy, like a satsuma.

​

  • Piano

  • Rhythm

  • Theory

  • Ear training

  • Music appreciation

​​​

2) Simplified Notation introduces a child-friendly music notation system that uses colour-coding to make reading and writing music a breeze. It also links up with medieval music, constructing on very deep roots.

​

3) Child’s Play gives beautifully illustrated stories and imaginative exercises to capture a child's attention.

​

4) About Teaching summarises best practices of instrumental teaching. With a focus on creating a nurturing environment for musical growth and expression, Reimagining Music opens the door for music teachers wishing to pass on the grand musical tradition.
