"I've used the 'Whole Body Learning' with my autistic student who has had some difficulty with traditional methods. I couldn't believe how quickly she is now learning, with a smile on her face, no less. This approach really works!"

"Mrs. Olsen, this was the best lesson ever!"
" The studio has totally turned things around for my kids with learning difficulties. They're loving it! They're doing rhythms I didn't think they would ever do. They're singing along and know their Do, Re Mi's. They can sing it on pitch. It's awesome!

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.
