Old Style Learning vs SenseAPitch

What is Absolute Perfect Pitch?

Absolute Perfect Pitch is the “secret sauce” of musical talent characterized by the ability to recognize a note without a reference. Learning to play a new instrument is much easier with Absolute Perfect Pitch as it enhances every aspect of learning music, from playing by ear to sight-reading. It makes listening a richer, full color experience. Up to now, most have thought this to be a rare form of musical genius. We currently teach this skill to our students.

What is Whole-Brain Learning?

Through the Whole-Brain Approach, SensAPitch (TM) engages both the right and left hemispheres of the brain using color and multi-sensory input. We add a combination of melodic and rhythmic instruments to build connections between different regions of the brain. This enhances spatial reasoning abilities that affect math and science comprehension. We use specific strategies that enhance short and long-term memory.

The Rojas Family

"Walking in the doors of teVelde was the single best decision we have ever made for our children. When we walk in, all of us relax. The environment for learning is unparalleled. Teachers invited me into lessons, and now I'm learning cello. This school has taken a 10 year old boy, gave him a solid foundation in music theory, perfect pitch, and advanced piano technique, and prepared him for life as a professional composer.

- Sebern/Marsden Family

"He loves his lessons so much, he wants to be a music teacher. These children have literally grown up in this music school family, and we have now built a music room with a Yamaha grand piano in it for our whole family to play! It's our legacy for our grandchildren, and that's big. Thank you for designing music lessons that really work at creating a lifelong love for music!"

Teach Elementary

"Dear Bonnie, We wanted to tell you how much we appreciate your time and expertise in teaching fall and winter elective classes at Teach School. The students learn so much about composing and playing ukulele, and are hoping we can persuade you to teach every year! Teach School would not be the same without you! Thank you very much!
