Suzuki's method of music learning

You can take entry-level lessons about the keyboard (piano, synthesizer, melodica, xylophone), the recorder, melody tongue drum, guitar scales chart, songs & rhymes. Can also learn to play the Appalachian dulcimer. Entry-level lessons cover topics such as rhythm, melody, harmony, duet play, improvisation, music listening, and ear training. Music notation and sight-reading are not important; we learn music performing by ear and improvisation first, and children learn first to talk and much later to write and read. It depends on your life experience and abilities. You can learn some days, and some others may develop skills over some years.

Suzuki based his approach on the belief that “Musical ability or speaking a language correctly is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any properly trained child can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.”

The classical method of music learning

The arts are often cultural practices in big cities where most people live in apartment blocks. Children are going to ballet school at ages 9 to 11. All successful musicians started their classical music studies at ages 5 to 7. Most often, the first instrument is the violin, piano, or recorder. Not all music is played on the classical piano or symphony orchestra; there are many more aesthetically and emotionally supported activities by the audience. Family group means these instruments are similar to each other (Strings, Woodwind, Brass, Percussion, Electronic, or Keyboard). When we talk about singing. Women are typically divided into three groups: soprano, mezzo-soprano, and contralto. Men are usually divided into four groups: countertenor, tenor, baritone, and bass. When considering the pre-pubescent voice, an eighth term, treble, is applied. Play at least two performance pieces with any musical instrument or sing well two songs by heart before enrolling to study. Learners can study the piano or the recorders (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), singing and solmization, musical notation (handwriting, computer programs), or ear training. Learners should have the instrument (piano, synth, recorder) at home and a regular time set to practice musical skills and knowledge. General music lessons: the first year is about the rhythm, tempo, and dynamics, the second year is about the melody, intervals, and scales in all keys, and the third year is about the harmony and chord progressions. Learners can continue their studies in a music school or studio. Singers learn also dancing, acting, and diction in foreign languages. Musical literacy is the reading, writing, and playing of music, as well as an understanding of cultural practice and historical and social contexts.

“Reading music is like reading words. It begins when by presenting something written we are capable of understanding it and representing it in sounds. It is a mysterious thing like the matter of the alphabet; only here we have a musical sound to correspond to what is written; these are therefore exercises of reading. This fact is independent of the nature of the instrument; the music that is read can be played on the bells or on any other instrument. " (Dr Maria Montessori)

Popular music lessons (UK syllabus of worldwide learning )

A continuous education course for musicians who need additional preparation for being accepted to professional training in the UK or elsewhere. You must be able to play at least 5 performance pieces with any musical instrument or sing five songs by heart. Normally, all popular music learners practice music regularly in a band, choir, or dance, and singers are fluent in spoken English before attending lessons. You can also perform your compositions or compose accompaniment (guitar, piano, etc) and perform it while singing. 9 progressive levels of study materials (sheet music, audio files, theory) are designed by London contemporary scholars. You can complete full-time studies in 9 months, but people may study part-time sessions about 9 years. I can play multiple instruments well and sing. During the synthesizer play, vocal coaching, or saxophone practise, you can concentrate on the requirements of notation accuracy, values, evenness of sound, tone quality/ consistency, technical control and sync, improvisation and ensemble replay, and sight-reading, and the featured repertoire in modern music industries. To create an accurate budget, it is essential to have a clear understanding of both income and expenses. While technology has made it easier than ever to create and distribute music, these advancements have also led to overwhelming competition and significant challenges regarding revenue generation and audience engagement.
