Music Works
Magic embraces a
developmental approach to music education based on the philosophy
of Kodaly. Zoltan Kodaly, Hungarian music educator, who said that
before we put expensive instruments into the hands of our young,
they must be able to sing in tune. It is in the early years
that our hearing develops and by exposing children in their early
years to positive musical experiences through music education we
can improve their vocal and listening skills. So our most advanced students are those who
have taken the time to master their first instrument - the voice -
and learn to sing in tune. Good musicians always
sing. These sound
music education foundations aid the learning and playing of musical
instruments in later life.

At Music Works Magic, children
and adults have the opportunity to learn various instruments with
either a traditional or Suzuki approach. Our Director is happy to
discuss the different approaches to help you to decide the best
approach for you or your child. Exam preparation available but
optional. All students are encouraged to perform at our concerts
but again this is not compulsory. We encourage students to attend
concerts to learn from and support each other. Before signing
your child up to learn an instrument we recommend reading this
fabulous article reprinted with kind permission from
