| What Our Teachers Say: |
| "I did the teacher training course after I had had only 10 Simply Music lessons. When I found out I could become a teacher of this amazing method I was really excited. I have never been a teacher nor studied any form of music but was so inspired by what I had experienced at the piano, I just knew I could do it. I didn't even own a piano!! So I hired a piano, painted a room and I was ready to go. Now, 2 years and 3 months later my timetable is booked and I am always getting more inquiries by word of mouth. It has been a very empowering experience for me. Firstly, I run my own successful business at home that gives me the freedom to work when I want to and how much I want to. This is a great feeling. Secondly, the realization that I can offer people so much. I know that I am impacting these people's lives forever. One mom said to me one day 'You have changed my son Dean's life so much. You should see him walk out of his piano lessons. He is smiling and confident and happy and loves coming so much.' To me, the impact of such a thing on a global scale will change the world." |

| "I'm a self-taught jazz player. The Simply Music approach not only makes sense, it makes me wonder why educators ever thought they should teach music in the way that they have, for so long." |

| "Something in the hands-on nature of the Simply Music method has added a whole new level of accessibility for my students. In my years of teaching I've never seen such enthusiasm and pride. But what I like best about Simply Music is that it's so effective in spreading the message of the joy of music - my students teach songs to family and friends, and people are coming to me who in the past would never have considered music a possibility for themselves." |

| "I feel that it is just a wonderful opportunity to do meaningful work that gives me a real sense of joy, it has really changed my life. I get to earn money doing something I love to do, and that's really quite a blessing. This program gives people access to musical self-expression. I have an enthusiasm for self-actualization of people and believe music is a core experience in a rich life. I see myself as being a part of the fulfillment of the vision of the program." |

| "Today after I finished a practice session with my two children (ages almost 10 and 8 yo), I was deeply struck with their developed ear and musicality. I told them that they are years ahead of where I was at their age. Today we were working on accompianing familiar songs from the Wee Sing Series and I was impressed with their ability not only to get around the keyboard with ease, but to hear and anticipate a chord change. When I started to play with our Praise and Worship band at our Congregation, I had trouble hearing the guitar's chord changes - and I had been playing traditional piano since their ages! I am pleased to report my musicality and ear has developed since teaching Simply Music exclusively. Isn't this just the best method you have ever encountered?!?!" |

| "I for one, among many others, would have to agree that this is just the best method I have ever encountered. As a student of traditional piano lessons for over ten years, I still felt like I lived on Venus and the piano lived on Mars. The keyboard was so foreign to me, and sitting down to play or learn was tense at best, and disappointing. This week I just realized that now I can walk up to any piano and it does NOT feel like a foreign place, it does NOT create tension, and it does NOT end in disappointment. Simply Music has made the piano a friendly and familiar place. A place where I feel like I belong there, instead of feeling like an outsider who is jumping in over my head. Making music is not just for the professionals any more, nor is teaching it! Look out, living rooms, here we come!" |
