"I
like taking Simply Music from Ms. Mary because she makes
learning fun. I have learned to compose my own music and
Ms. Mary even lets me play my songs at recitals. Every
time I go to lessons I have fun."
- Lilly G (age 8)
"I have wanted to
play piano all my life. At age 51 I was beginning to
feel like I was getting too old to learn.
Then I came for the intro and knew I HAD to do this! It
has been the BEST thing I have ever done. I was astounded
at how quickly we learned songs. Every week there are new
challenges. Playing piano has become my new relaxation
past time. I feel sharper mentally then I have in years.
Mary is a wonderful, patient instructor who not only teaches
you to play, but is constantly stretching and challenging
you to have fun, to reach beyond where you think you can
go. Simply Music has added a whole new dimension to my
life!"
- Donna
"Mary's approach to music and piano is truly inspiring. My daughter started
lessons at age 5 and two years later has more songs in her repertoire than I
ever did in 8 years of traditional lessons! My 10 year-old son didn't relate
to child-like music choices in traditional lessons but was proud of all the challenging
and beautiful songs he was able to play in a short period of time with Simply
Music and I loved seeing his world expand by learning chords. My 80 year-old
father had never taken lessons before and was so happy that he was able to have
fun while learning an instrument and music that he had always enjoyed."
- Beth R.
"Mary has a kind, fun and firm approach
to piano learning."

Simply Music is a remarkable, Australian-developed piano
and keyboard program that offers a breakthrough in music education. This
method is becoming the new standard in entry-level music learning, and
redefines both music learning and music teaching. This unique "playing-based" approach
produces unprecedented results and has students of all ages playing contemporary,
classical, blues and accompaniment pieces immediately, from their very
first lessons.

Simply Music teaches students to play the
piano by immersing them in the actual process of playing, and providing
a subtle balance between guidance, discovery, instruction and direct,
hands-on experience. This program uses an entirely new and far more
natural approach which transforms the entire music learning process.

WONDERFUL for children,
teens, adults and seniors
who thought they could NEVER play piano!
"I have two children in the program. My older
son, Jack (10), has played for over 4 years and knows at least
30 songs well and understands the rudiments of chord theory and
blues and is on his way to reading music. His knowledge of piano
has also
enabled him to take percussion in school. Jack is instantly
able to help his 8 year-old brother with piano. It’s a great joy
to see them play and they’re both proud of what they can
do at the piano."
- Jim T.
"As senior citizens we find
Simply Music lessons mentally stimulating and find great satisfaction
in the accomplishment of being able to play a variety of songs with
using written music. At present, we are beginning to read music
and feel comfortable doing so."
- Dave and Gloria
"The Simply Music teaching method
keeps the kids engaged and motivated to play the piano, even at
a very young age."
