The Suzuki Method and Dalcroze Education

The Suzuki Method is all about nurturing a student in learning music through a mother tongue approach that emphasizes "beautiful tone, beautiful heart" and that "every child can.” In the Suzuki pedagogy and philosophy, Dr. Suzuki points out that every child possesses a high potentiality that can be developed through education.
In Dalcroze Education, we focus on developing the first instrument, the body, in order to facilitate ease at our musical instruments, which are just an extension of our bodies.

The Program
​
​Learn music and movement skills through rhythm, improvisation, and tonal recognition in a fun, Suzuki- and Dalcroze-inspired group piano class! 
​
Piano Moves gives group piano lessons an integrative movement twist! Students embody music joyfully through creative games, improvisation, and expression. Using familiar songs, carefully sequenced learning pieces, and partner work, this small-group class provides students the foundation for excellent music education on the piano and beyond. Students learn rhythmic and tonal patterns, prepare for reading music, and build beginning piano vocabulary and technique in 50-minute classes. This includes 15-20 minute individually focused semi-private piano lessons each week in groups of 2-5 students. 
​
Culminating in short performances at the end of every term, Piano Moves teaches students to love performing and become lifelong musicians and movers!

Piano Moves uses Integral Steps’ movement-based Music in Motion curriculum to introduce concepts like rhythm, melody, and harmony in a social and imaginative way. Each week, students receive a Music in Motion Activity Sheet to support at-home reviewing. Piano Moves prepares students to be ready for private piano instruction. It is part of a musicianship sequence that leads directly to the Rhythmic-Solfège curriculum Levels I-V (a leveled sequential program that specifically teaches children to become music literate and prepares them for Advanced Placement Level coursework that can be taken for college credit).
