New Methods should be Tried
When I was a little girl, our family had a phone that was in a big wooden box that hung on the wall of our kitchen. We had to turn a crank to connect to the operator who in turn asked us the party we wanted to be connected to. Our ring was three shorts and two longs. It was a big party line, and we had to listen carefully to know that the ring was ours and not someone else’s. Mom and Dad knew some of the other people on the line and recognized there rings, sometimes wondering if their friends were receiving an important call.
Today I put on my blue tooth when I get into the car so I can safely drive while making and receiving calls. I have downloaded my own special Mozart ring tone that is just for my phone, so it is easily recognized from other phones ringing around me in public places. My phone has served me well when I have traveled internationally.
It totally boggles my mind when I think of the changes that have come to our world in my life time, and this is just one example. It‘s important to me to change with the flow as new techniques become available or, at least, give them a try.
Teaching music to young children has always been a challenge, and there are many methods that have developed over the years. The teaching method presented here is a new way of approaching this challenge. I have tested, honed and polished it for several years before making it available to the music teaching public. It works and is adaptable, and like other new approaches to music education is definitely worth a try. Other teachers have accepted this challenge and are pleased they have. I hope you will too.
