📜 History &

💗 Appreciation 

Because we really believe in the value of this training, in creating "whole" musicians and not just mechanical piano players, where students can gain a true understanding of what they are doing, filling in the gaps, while simultaneously develop their ears

We reckon the famous quote from renowned Hungarian Composer & Educator, Zoltan Kodaly is the perfect summary of the longterm benefits of receiving this training - 

“To teach a child an instrument - without first giving him preparatory training and without developing singing, reading and dictating to the highest level along with the playing - is to build upon sand.”
