Teacher Sophie Fredericks' student says...
"Practice Buddy helps him understand the music better" 

 
"Rhythm has never been more fun!!"

"I've been using 'Rhythm of the Sea' with my students and they love it! We started with the word rhythms cards, and then made up our own rhythms which were both creative & fun. But the favourite was using the Radetsky March backing track in Practice Buddy. We would end up laughing every time. Rhythm has never been more fun!!"

Shauna Hunter

"It's certainly gotten me off my bench. Just do it!"

"Paul and Gillian are such dynamic and engaging teachers who are obviously passionate about music pedagogy. The Studio will insert that boost of creativity you need to really energise yourself and your students. It's certainly gotten me off my bench - moving and singing more with my students!! Just do it!"

Hi, I'm Paul Myatt and I'm Gillian Erskine...

 

We've been friends and business partners for more than 27 years. Way back when we met we were struggling with the challenge of keep students engaged and their enthusiasm high. We both owned large music schools and were determined to stop students from quitting because we had failed to excite and engage them!

We discovered the secret to keeping students was to have just the right mix of multi-sensory activities, perfecting small bite-sized chunks and adding fabulous sounding backing tracks!

The trouble is... it's time consuming to think up all the multi-sensory activities and expensive to get backing tracks made! We couldn't ask our teachers to do it so we set about developing a treasure trove of resources for our schools and went on to grow our global success story Forte School of Music on the back of our Whole body Learning philosophy and resources.

We're now sharing our secret to success with you along with our own personal resources library so you can get the know-how and support you need without spending endless hours and expense trying to figure it all out. You really can engage and keep more students and leave a legacy where even more children grow up to enjoy the lifelong pleasure of playing music.

How Whole Body Learning can work for you...

Piano teachers just like you share their story on how they are inspiring students to practice & progress quicker simply by using Whole Body Learning!

"In one lesson half the job was done!"
"The Missing Link!"
"My student didn't want to go home!"
 
 
 

Even though these are exam pieces, students are excited to go home and practice. They have the tune in their head and the body movement integrated it all for them. Students listen better, are more engaged and excited about their music.

Dorothy Chia, Singapore

Searching for "the missing link" to students remember what they played in lessons, Roya discovered Whole Body Learning.  Her fun percussion activity captivated a student so much that she didn't care how difficult the music looked!

Roya Halavati, Australia

With a traditional piano upbringing, Mutsumi never wanted to teach like her teacher. Whole Body Learning caught her attention and makes learning more memorable.  One student didn't want to go home. He was so enjoying the lesson!

Mutsumi Lui, Australia

"It's like Mario Cart. 3,2,1!
"Can we do it again!"
"Less talk, more action!"
 
 
 

Her students were struggling with just sitting at the piano and reading the notes. She tried Whole Body Learning initially with her lovely son and was amazed at how quickly he learnt new concepts and how focussed & motivated he was to get it right!

Qi Chen, Australia

At the end of her tether with a student in a last-ditch effort to save him, Leanna switched to Whole Body Learning and everything changed! He was eating up the learning and activities so quickly she couldn't keep going fast enough!

Leanna Minnick, Utah USA

Kids are tired after a long day at school and need a break from teachers talking and movement activities that help learning are a welcome relief. Trina found this activity even in an online lesson helped her student picked it up quicker, and have better retention over the week.
