For me, in my battle against the clock in piano lessons, music theory always lost. That was always difficult for me to understand, because I love music theory! Music theory instruction lost out to teaching repertoire, and improvisation, and technique, and scales, and, and….. There’s so much to cover in a lesson, and it’s all important! Compound this problem over a few years, and you may end up with a student who wants to do more with his/her music, but needs to catch up learning music theory. I saw it time and time again in the couple of years that I spent teaching Music Theory at Trinity University – there were students that were prepared for freshmen theory, and there were those that were lost and frustrated. I don’t know about you, but I want to be the teacher that has a prepared student, not a frustrated one.
Another problem that amplified over the years in my teaching was physical exhaustion from the sheer amount of time I spent preparing from lessons just to make sure each student was not only loving music, but staying on track with what they needed to learn. With music theory, I was preparing and teaching the same concepts over and over, trying to stay focused to remember if each one of my students had been taught the concepts they needed to know for their level. There had to be an easier way!
In early 2018, I began offering my music theory courses to teachers to use in their own studio. I wanted to save them the same time and energy that I was saving, and give them the peace of mind that their students were learning the music theory concepts that they needed to know for their studio. Susan Hong, a fellow teacher soon wrote to me saying:
“This will help us so much. Also I have a family who has been purchasing individually to study at home and they are loving it. Just loveeee it so much and thank you for all you do. It’s been a wonderful addition to my studio. I will not stress over theory exams this year due to your program. Look forward to level 8.”
Another piano teacher, who started off using the program on her own son, wrote this about her son:
“A. was excited to see your video yesterday again, he really loves the computer effects….I told him he was going to correct his own worksheet by watching the same video again. Right away, as he was watching it, he already knew some of the stuff he had missed. What a fun alternative for him to study his music theory!”
Jennifer Foxx, a teacher in Arizona, wrote an article on her blog, saying:
“Have you ever been excited about something where it ends up taking over your dreams? This happens to me all the time, but I didn’t expect it to happen with this… Dr. Kathy Rabago from PianoProgram.com has created Music Theory Courses for students. These courses are the very definition of flipped learning and something that I have been wanting to find for a while. Students learn the music theory concepts at home or during their music lab time, reinforce the concepts through worksheets (provided), and return to their lessons with an increased knowledge of music theory.”
These testimonials mean the world to me. I love that teachers are saving time and energy by implementing this program in their studio, and seeing results in their students.
Imagine not ever having to plan your music theory lessons ever again.
Imagine a few extra hours in your week because of this.
Imagine your students watching a teaching video during their lab time, or at home, and coming back to their lessons with you ready to discuss what they learned.
Imagine being able to focus your lessons on what you love – teaching repertoire, and improv, and other fun aspects of playing music.
Imagine working with a student who is stuck understanding something in their lesson, and being able to pull up in just seconds a video, worksheet, and interactive exercise that will help them understand that concept.
