My method has been refined and proven effective through years of experience as a music teacher at prestigious institutions like EWS International International School, other private music schools, and my own school in Italy. Direct experience with hundreds of children has confirmed the amazing effectiveness of this approach.
Music&English offers a learning journey that goes far beyond traditional schooling, transforming lessons into vibrant adventures that boost not only musical and linguistic skills, but also focus, balance, and self-confidence. It’s an investment in a child’s holistic potential, preparing them for a future of discovery and achievement.
This method isn’t just a teaching approach; it’s the revolutionary discovery of an intrinsic biological code that exists within every child. Music&English is the only method that so deeply and systematically integrates the vibrations of colors, the sounds of music, and emotional resonance with direct experience, creating a permanent learning path that is, by its very nature, certified by the brain’s own effectiveness. It’s time to unlock your child’s full potential, guided by an approach that truly connects with their authentic self.
Supporting Music & English Methodology: Backed by Educational Pioneers
Music & English method isn’t just new; it’s built on strong ideas from leading thinkers in education and music therapy. These experts show how the M & E approach to visual and sound vibrations, emotions, and hands-on learning taps into a natural “biological code” for learning.
1. Maria Montessori: The Power of Hands-On, Sensory Learning
- Music & English Methodology: “Everything is supercharged by hands-on, direct experience where children can physically try out what the teacher is explaining.”
- Why It’s Supported: Maria Montessori (1870-1952), a key figure in education, believed that touch and sensory experience are vital. She famously said, “The hand is the organ of the mind.” Her teaching tools are designed to let children explore a single sense (like color, weight, or sound) by touching and interacting directly. Learning isn’t just from talking; it’s from self-discovery through the senses. Music & English methodology, linking colors to notes and letting kids touch the keyboard, perfectly matches Montessori’s idea that sensory learning builds logic and deep understanding.
2. Rudolf Steiner (Waldorf Education): Art, Color, and Whole-Child Development
- Music & English Methodology: Connecting colors (visual vibrations) to note sounds (sound vibrations), which are then linked to emotions. All of this is boosted by intuitive emotional languages like music and colors, which are also universal languages.
- Why It’s Supported and connected: Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), who founded Waldorf education, always saw art, music, and color as essential for a child’s complete development of body, mind, and spirit. In Waldorf schools, art, like watercolor painting, focuses on the experience of color and its shades, allowing children to express feelings. Music is a daily part of learning through singing, rhythm, and simple instruments. The colors are visual vibrations connected to sound vibrations and emotions. This Music & English vision is exactly the same Steiner’s view: ” The art is a path to deep understanding, not just beauty, and a tool for sparking feelings and imagination”.
3. Carl Orff (Orff-Schulwerk): Music, Movement, and Holistic Growth
- Music & English Methodology: offers a revolutionary approach, integrating a full growth cycle for your child, boosting focus, balance, and self-confidence, through hands-on, direct experience.
- Why It’s Supported: Carl Orff (1895-1982), with his Orff-Schulwerk, created a way to teach basic music by actively involving children through music, movement, speech, and play. His method highlights improvisation and creating music using easy-to-access percussion instruments. Orff understood that music must be learned by doing and through bodily experience. Music & English approach, which connects music and English to direct experience and movement to build focus and balance, strongly aligns with Orff’s principles. He saw music as a whole-body activity that involves every part of the child. The “physical feeling” of music helps kids understand and remember it better.
4. Edwin Gordon (Music Learning Theory): Audition and Music as a Language
- Music & English Methodology: creates a mental ‘vision board’ that gives the brain a simple visual pattern, helping kids quickly memorize mathematical logic that isn’t immediately simple for them. It’s ‘deep learning’ that’s impossible to forget, like a mental code downloaded through a sensory and visual journey.
- Why It’s Supported: Edwin Gordon (1927-2015), with his Music Learning Theory (MLT), stressed the importance of audiation – the ability to hear and understand music in your mind even when it’s not playing. Gordon compared learning music to learning your native language, emphasizing early exposure and a rich musical environment. Music & English Methodology of a “mental code” and “biological download” of learning is similar to MLT, which suggests music is learned through sorting and reasoning processes, building internal patterns. The color-note-sense connection that creates a “vision board” helps with richer audiation and deeper understanding, making musical logic intuitive.
