What is Whole Body Learning?
Whole Body Learning is an approach to teaching music that can be incorporated at any stage of
learning for any piano or instrumental student. It is based on the ideas, concepts and approaches of
Orff & Keetmen, Dalcroze, Kodály, Suzuki, Gordon as well as current research into neuroscience and
how the brain learns and processes information.

These strategies for teaching music are not new. Bringing them together to develop pedagogically
sound, educational pathways for instrumental and piano teaching is unique. Over the last 30 years
of teaching, Susan Head, Paul Myatt and Gillian Erskine have explored many approaches and incor-
porated what we believe has worked best for our students and us as teachers.

What we have observed in our own teaching is that students find learning easier and more fun as
well as achieving a more musical outcome which incorporates aural, rhythm, performance, improvi-
sation and reading.

In this approach, all the learning happens in the lesson, so even if they don’t practice during the
week, they tend to remember what has happened because it is embodied. We are confident you will
have the same experience with your students.

Whole Body Learning for piano is quite different from “traditional” music lessons. The “traditional”
approach to instrumental and piano music education started in the 19th century with advances in
paper manufacturing technology. Prior to the 1800s music was taught by ear, passing on tunes, mel-
odies and harmonies through listening, movement and dance. Paper before the 19th century was a
rare and expensive commodity and not readily available to the general public.

The advent of inexpensive paper allowed easy distribution of printed music. With that came a ne-
cessity to read music. For many piano lessons has been about “reading the music” and playing by
reading. This meant there was a need to be able to read hence traditional piano lessons were often
not commenced until a child was about 8 years old.

Research has concluded that starting piano lessons at the age of 4 or 5 offers students’ brain stimu-
lus that enhances future learning and impacts on academic results. At this age students aural de-
velopment learning capacity is at its strongest. From the ages of 4 - 8 years is the point in life when
accent in language and speech is developed and cemented. Those who are lucky enough to speak
more than one language, will often have a “local accent” in both languages or be “accentless” in
the other language.

This occurs because of the rapid development of the ear and its connections to the brain during
the ages of 4 & 8 years. Music can certainly be considered a language and children who learn music
especially with a focus on listening and singing will develop excellent pitch - for some that will be
perfect pitch.

Hence an over arching philosophy of Whole Body Learning is for children to start learning piano
from an early age. Four years of age is the perfect time to commence piano lessons. During this
time an elemental approach to learning incorporating the natural learning process is essential as
these children are too young to read music.

Using Technology
The development of recorded music and the internet has offered many people the opportunity to
listen to music. The majority of teenagers will now say they’ve learnt a new skill via YouTube for many
it will be a musical instrument like guitar or piano. Susan and Paul have noticed many students will
often take to YouTube to learn a new song or find some help with a piece they are playing. If used
effectively, this technology is incredibly useful in assisting students to learn more efficiently.

Devices like tablets and iPads now offer teachers many new possibilities for improves their teaching
offering for:
• Aural Development - listening activities that can improve students’ aural skills for ongoing ad-
vancement and preparation for exams outside of the lesson
• Sight Reading - apps which will listen to your piano while students play along with a recording
offers student real time improvement of sight reading skills, again which can be done in and out
of a lesson.
• Musical Games (aural & reading) - making learning fun, building friendly competition between
students, etc.
• Technique Improvement - self assessment - using video to self critique, just like the video referee
in a tennis match, students can now see there fingers from a different angle to improve tech-
nique.
• Ensemble - playing with a backing track helps develops rhythmic certainty and aural understand-
ing of printed music.

A Great Teacher
The interaction between students and teacher is human interaction that can not be replaced by AI,
certainly not at this stage in human development. Providing a space for children to explore and learn
through their senses as well as offering the opportunity to imagine and improvise will give you as the
teacher, wonderful creative outcomes. Awakening the brain and stimulating creativity in the students
provides a wonderful foundation for all future education.

It is the ability to be creative that offers children success in their future. Very few of us will ever teach
concert pianists, we can however assist a child by offering him or her some fundamental skills on
their educational journey. Some of these include:
• Understanding that effort equals reward and that what you put in will determine what you get
out. An essential and important part of preparation for exams and higher education.
• Thinking creatively through exploring improvisation like creating and improvising music. This will
extend into other areas of life which often includes science, language and technology.
• An understanding of how music is structured and attentive listening, which helps at school and
also creates the audience for tomorrow’s musicians.
• Developing performance skills, as Condalleeza Rice says, “performance is performance, there is
little difference between a board room presentation or a concert stage”.
• The ability to make music by playing a musical instrument
