You make time to spend with friends and family. You enjoy a rewarding job; good health and exercise; travel, what else can add to the quality of your life? If you haven’t joined those who regularly express themselves musically, you are missing serious fun. Studies show people who play piano regularly consider it one of the top six or seven things that contribute to their quality of life, right up there with their personal relationships, financial well-being, professional lives, health, and spirituality.
Most people are aware of studies that show the benefit of playing on a cognitive level. Beyond that, so many other benefits come to those who play. People feel joy and excitement. It can be a great way to relax as well as a great form of self-expression. It contributes to others as well as being a natural high and an ego boost.
How about the desire for keeping your brain challenged in a fun way or how it brings people together? It’s stimulating and freeing and it’s a great creative outlet. It sounds great and teaches the magic of spontaneity. Not to mention enhancing life skills such as concentration, discipline, and commitment.
The truth is, having the ability to express oneself musically is not meant to be for just a select few.
Simply Music is a teaching method that demonstrates that musicality is something we all are born with. The unique approach to learning allows anyone who wants to play to be achieving his or her goals quickly and easily.
On a quiet street in Oak Park, Sheri Reingold has been teaching the breakthrough Australian Simply Music piano and keyboard method for eight years. Students of all ages get to experience the sheer joy of playing, literally immediately, from their first lessons.
This isn’t about playing those silly little ditties you may remember from your childhood piano lessons. This is an environment where you get to play great-sounding music of all different musical styles and genres. Imagine being able to play four or five songs, hands together, in your first month, including classical, contemporary, blues and accompaniments.
Students also discover composing and improvising as a natural extension of language. Playing piano doesn’t have to be hard and it doesn’t have to take a long time to feel competent and confident. Simply Music is a breakthrough method that produces unprecedented results for everyone, even for people who never dreamed they could play.
Marc Bonilla, local composer, performer, and Emmy nominee said, “Simply Music is a revolutionary technique that allows the student to better recognize the forms of music without the mystery and enables them to more quickly participate in the joy of creating and performing. This isn’t a shortcut to understanding music, it’s a straight line.”
Playing a musical instrument is one of the deepest expressions of what it is to be human. It’s a life-enhancing skill that you can acquire and retain as a companion for the rest of your life! It’s a gift to yourself and to those around you.
