Our Teaching Approach
Simultaneous Learning
The process of learning music contains elements of listening, performing, memory, rhythm, notation, theory, composition, improvisation, character, and expression. Our music lessons include these elements in the learning process in the form of appropriate, continuously achievable musical activities. The goal of this process is to produce positive and empowered learners. This approach was developed by Paul Harris and is the basis for ABRSM and MTB exams.
Exams
ISM provides exam preparation and recording options for students to take all of the following internationally-recognized online exams:
