Discover Your Talent Within

From our YouTube video, preschool Jazz Improv, we start 5 and 6 year olds playing major and pentatonic scales in C and E flat and then all the other keys over the next two years so they have a concept of composition from the get go for piano, guitar, and violin.  Dan's coordinated method books compliment "playing simple things well" in all keys rather than complicated things played poorly in one or two keys.  Keith Knighton and Dan have children sing their names with an up or down melody so they can recognize pitches.  Children that start in this program early don't think that making music is hard, because it isn't.  A solid knowledge of I V7 chord cadence in all 12 keys brings chordal efficiency to a peak very early in the musical instrument experience.
