Q&A With Christmas Caroloke Creator

Simply Music is an Australian-developed, piano and keyboard music education business opportunity.

Playing the piano is a high status skill, and billions of dollars are spent each year on piano lessons. For centuries however, traditional methods have remained largely unchanged and, for the most part, continue to require that students first learn to read music as the means of learning how to play.

The sad result is that this ‘read first, play later’ approach is slow and frustrating. In the end, far too many students never acquire the ability to play. Many in fact, lose their desire to learn altogether. In addition, this has given birth to a multitude of myths: “learning piano is hard”, “you have to start when you’re young”, “it takes a long time” or “you have to have a special talent”. The reality is that expecting students to read music before they have learned how to play, is like expecting children to read and spell before they have learned how to talk!

In fact, we all talked for years before we learned how to read and spell.

Similarly, the Simply Music program temporarily delays the music reading process, and begins by teaching unique concepts that unfold directly onto the keyboard. Since beginning students don’t have to worry about trying to read music they are free to relate directly to the piano. Within months, they establish a ‘hands-on’ and personal ‘feeling’ for the instrument as they build a play-list that includes popular, classical, blues and jazz styles. Simply Music’s students, from their very beginnings, also develop the ability to play complex chords and modern accompaniments.

Here’s what makes the Simply Music system so great for the budding music teaching entrepreneurs:

It can be taught by piano players who are not advanced musicians
It requires no formal teaching qualifications
No prior music teaching experience is necessary.

Many of their teachers never dreamed that they were capable of teaching music. Successful Simply Music teachers are most commonly those who love to play music, are at ease with people of all ages, who love to share music with others and have a willingness to embrace and implement new ideas.
