This dynamic allows the student to

learn more rapidly and effectively.

The relation reading-executing is

done within a healthy competition

between the student and the

machine, just as he would with any

stage based video game. This

makes him feel identified with a

familiar setting. The students learn

musical notes and symbols as part

of the rules of the game.

Is based on the use of the exercises with rhythms, melodies and modern harmonies that invites and captures the attention of the students. They feel as protagonists with their instruments as they play and see/hear the music

The student is the main

character.

Connection between goal, exercise and

fun!

The exercises are

developed to stimulate

finger dexterity and note

beat while incorporating

elements of music theory

with an incredible

connection between

exercise and fun.

No aversion to the musical instrument

and self esteem improvement.

In other traditional music programs,

novice students usually get

frustrated or bored with playing

isolated notes on a silent class,resulting in instrument or

study abandonment. With our Music Coach Method, the student is surrounded by other students with the same interests and a welcoming environment that motivates practice time after time in order to progress to the next phase!
