The relation reading-executing is
done within a healthy competition
between the student and the

connection between

and self esteem improvement.
In other traditional music programs,
novice students usually get
frustrated or bored with playing
isolated notes on a silent class,resulting in instrument or
study abandonment. With our Music Coach Method, the student is surrounded by other students with the same interests and a welcoming environment that motivates practice time after time in order to progress to the next phase!
