WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO....
Dream Machine Piano was established in 2006 to become a
customized Music Training Company that taught piano lessons within a full
comprehensive program for children of all ages - even adults and seniors.
We provide your child with a comprehensive music program that
integrates;keyboard, ear training, sight reading, rhythm, music theory and
music composition.
I possess more than 18 years education and curriculum development
experience and stringent teacher accreditation for superior parent satisfaction.
MUSIC THEORY
The importance of music theory is often overlooked - possibly because it is
difficult to teach in a way that keeps the student interested. We meet this
challenge head-on. Although theory is applied within the lessons, advanced
students may wish to study music theory in the general sense, whether to
gain acceptance in a post-secondary program, or simply to develop a greater
understanding of music and musicianship.
EAR TRAINING
How is it that a musician can hear a string of notes or chords and play them
back without seeing music? This is the result of ear training. Although perfect
pitch (the ability to produce or identify any given note by ear) is something
one is born with, the rest of us can be taught RELATIVE-pitch. Relative pitch
means that, when one note is provided, the musician can produce or identify
any other notes relative to the given note. So what's the point of all this? A
musician whose ears are well trained has a much easier time hearing,
identifying with, and anticipating music that is being played.
The most spectacular example of a musician possessing the gift of perfect
pitch is in the case of Mozart who, while still a child, attended a chamber
music concert with his father. That evening, the boy wrote out the entire
musical score on paper. It was so perfect that he was accused of stealing the
music until he was given a chance to demonstrate that he could indeed hear
any notes on any instrument and transcribe them to paper, or play them back.
