Seeing my toddler coming out of shell after attending a few sessions and now participating, dancing, singing to the music and my baby being glued to the CD player, listening to the class material and dancing joyfully before her breakfast, every morning, truly warms up my heart. I have to say having had no background in music myself and now starting to getting it, equally excites me if not more. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810762952169302873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123314966588009180.post-46984925574083799212016-01-27T09:21:37.502-06:002016-01-27T09:21:37.502-06:00As a child I yearned for piano and voice lessons. ...As a child I yearned for piano and voice lessons. I was thrilled to find LPM and our teacher, Nicole Miller, when I started looking for music instruction for my 4 year old granddaughter. My son is an accomplished jazz musician and he often speaks a "language" I don't understand. I have long believed music should be taught as a discipline, as important as math, English or science. LPM is a joyful way to overcome my musical illiteracy! My granddaughter loves it, too!Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123314966588009180.post-41213234741878573182016-01-25T07:15:43.941-06:002016-01-25T07:15:43.941-06:00I would love to learn ear training to be a better ...I would love to learn ear training to be a better musician.

I onlynwish LPM was around when I was young. I am a trained musician, but not a natural musician like my husband. Music has played a major role in my life. There has never been anything more moving to me than music. From the Disneyland Electrical parade, to Canon in D, to the soundtracks from Rent or Miss Saigon, and countless others... Those without fail will bring tears of joy to my eyes, and stir something amazing inside of me that nothing else can replicate. I would love to finally understand what it is that makes certain music stir my emotions so that I can learn to create my own. Ever since discovering LPM, it has become my dream to make music with my family, and my children are well on their way there. I walked in on their first jam session with my husband the other day, and realized that I have some catching up to do to be able to create!!!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008368251777385922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123314966588009180.post-43392282817162819082016-01-17T00:10:39.089-06:002016-01-17T00:10:39.089-06:00Love your story!

When I was a senior in high school I asked my teacher to teach me jazz. His answer was a giant fake book and chord flashcards. I had no idea what I was doing. Later, after listing to amazing soloist perform off the cuff, I asked how I could learn to play like that. Her answer, you're born with it. Can't be learned. :-( Then I found LPM. I learned how chords worked and how to break down a song. I have some tools for improvising but I need more colors! There are red blue and yellow (I, IV and V) but what are the green, purple, orange and chartreuse chords! I'm dying to learn! Please please please pick me!!!! :) P.S. I am totally willing to commit to using your resources and will tell all my friends. Just to prove it, I just picked up a 1890 short-hand book and am teaching myself. It's so much fun. I love to learn!Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414495040171836121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123314966588009180.post-70555928777297422492016-01-15T10:23:02.358-06:002016-01-15T10:23:02.358-06:00Our LPM teacher is Ann Cue.

I was asked to teach music to children in church and decided to read up on how children learn music. I discovered how incredible our brains are and as I read, I realized how much of these principles were used in LPM. So, I started paying more attention to what was taught and have been able to bring the concepts from LPM into teaching songs at church. We move our bodies with the beat, try to capture the essence of the song, pretend to paint with the colors that we see in the music, clap the rhythms, and play bells to isolate the melody. LPM has helped me give these children an experience with the songs, even without me being formally trained. Brianna Shaffer is our teacher.

I have wanted to be musical my whole life—and struggled with all kinds of music lessons, but never learned some basic stuff until I put my child in White Horses. It's been two years, and we're hooked! I am sad this wasn’t around when I was a kid! Finally understanding some of the “gentle theory” behind what I am hearing has made music come alive--I even listen to the CDs when my little guy isn’t there! (I bet other drivers think it's really weird when they see me enthusiastically doing solfeg in my car . . . .)I won't be flogging my youngest through his piano lessons like I had to do with my other kids--he just loves sitting at the keyboard, having fun. I've started to pull out my old books and have fun with him! So--free ear training? Bring it on! I might pick up the piano again--but this time, I'll love it. heidiglynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340801891240365202noreply@blogger.com
