Improved results...

Davelyn's student was always playing too fast. He would never slow down. Using the Whole Body Learning approach which includes backing tracks he became very focused and was able to slow down and play in time. His results for his exams in the past had been a Merit, now he's achieved a Distinction.

The Missing Link!
In one lesson half the job was done
Less talk, more action!
A Distinction no less!
 
 
 
 

Searching for "the missing link" to students remember what they played in lessons, Roya discovered Whole Body Learning. Her fun percussion activity captivated a student so much that she didn't care how difficult the music looked!

Roya Halavati

Even though these are exam pieces, students are excited to go home and practice. They have the tune in their head and the body movement integrated it all for them. Students listen better, are more engaged and excited about their music.

Dorothy Chia

Kids are tired after a long day at school and need a break from talking and movement activities that help learning are a welcome relief. Even in an online lesson this activity helped her student learn quicker, and remember better over the week.

Trina Panitz

Davelyn was amazed at how quickly her student learned this piece and gained the rhythmic stability she has been working on with him. Everyone was thrilled when he received a Distinction in his recent exam with this piece.

What teachers say about

Whole Body Learning 

Exam Teaching Courses

Gave me a whole lot of ideas to work with but also let me experience why we need repetition and small chunks to learn a piece of music. :).

- MARIE-LOUISE BETHUNE

"This workshop helped me hone the value of whole-body experiences through movement and voice to support instrumental learning. The importance of movement and vocalising, while exploring and playing with sound, are key elements to sequential learning.  The joy, security and skill that develops is transferred to ones instrument where specific skills are mastered and the musician is free to express themselves."

- TRACEY BURTON

I highly recommend it. I have already used some of the techniques acquired in this course with my students and they have all loved it and asked if we could do it again next week.

- BIANCA VELLA

The Whole Body Learning course was the BEST course I have ever been on. It is a must for ALL piano teachers whether experienced or inexperienced.

- JANE BARTON, UK Piano Teacher

The course has given me lots of ideas and strategies to incorporate Whole Body Learning in my teaching. I am already experiencing a more musical outcome from students!  Insightful  teaching points and suggestions from presenters. I would highly recommend the workshop to all piano teachers!

- PIK KONG - Australian Piano Teacher

These courses were most enjoyable and inspiring. It was so nice to talk to other teachers across the world as well as the UK. I’d definitely recommend it.

- CHRISTINE WALKER, UK Piano Teacher
