"You
can learn it......
You can teach it......
You can understand it......
It works for all ages.......
3-90 years old."
Betsy R.
Piano Teacher
"I teach a
couple of families where I've observed the younger sibling in the
Stewart Method advancing more quickly than the older sister or
brother and the Stewart students show an easier accomplishment
overall...they are able to play chords and chord accompaniments
faster and easier, transpose earlier and show a comfortable
familiarity at the keyboard earlier.
As a teacher of several methods, I find the Stewart Method more comprehensive.
Thanks,"
Lynn H.
Piano Teacher
"My
colleagues at college lacked transposition, keyboard harmony and the concept
of scales skills. The Stewart Method teaches these things right from the
start."
Erica D.
Piano Teacher
"Kids
who come for piano lessons can play a song at their very first lesson.
Stewart Piano can be used for individuals from age 3 to forever and everyone
gets the gratification of being able to make their own music right away.
It doesn't matter what age they are."
Edith L.
Piano Teacher
"My
now six year old daughters have happily worked through the Pre-School Book
and are working on playing the first songs with chords in Book I. They say: "Its'
fun" and "I like the exercises" and "I like Mrs Stewart". On 'school days'
without being forced, but with my support and attention, they work for 30+
minutes on the piano. Mrs Stewart's method has me understand basic chords
and transposing in a way that helps me to play a reasonable accompaniment
in 'A' to my daughters beginning Susuki violin even when the accompaniment
book is too difficult for me."
Elizabeth W.
Home Schooling Mother
"I grew up with a concert quality, piano playing brother. I never learned to play, myself. However, while teaching my young daughter to play, I learned to play two-handed melodies. Mrs Stewart's Piano Lessons are wonderful!"
Leda G.
Parent
"The
Greeks understood that the basic subjects that you teach a student are music
and art. Later on they will understand math and science but they won't understand
them as well if they don't have music and art first. I've been teaching Stewart
Piano for nine years and I just love it!"
Penny H.
Piano Teacher
"Play
tunes immediately AND with chords."
Jenny S.
Happy 8 year old.
"If
you can write something in scale numbers, it's musical shorthand. You don't
have to write a bunch of notes out. You can add the harmony and its just
a joy and children can do it. It opens up a wonderful vista that anyone can
enjoy. You do the things you always wished you could do and its easy.
Mrs Stewart was a genius.
She made the difficult things easy.
She gives us a map for doing it."
Betsy R.
Piano Teacher
"The
Stewart Method should be compulsory for all teachers of beginners."
Sister Mary Gilbert
Montessori School Teacher
"Important
things come at the beginning, fit together easily,flow nicely -- it's a joy
to learn this way."
Gail B.
Adult Beginner
"I
am very excited about discovering the Stewart Lessons and I strongly recommend
them, not just for children starting the piano, but also for the adult beginner.
In fact, the lessons might be useful to many adults who already do quite
a bit of piano playing; Mrs Stewarts might cure any fear of "hard
keys" and in general help the student better understand what he is doing"
John H.
Music Critic
"The
blind student needs a good background in music theory, and an understanding
of music theory is basic to your method.
It seems ideal for the blind child"
Mary M.
Library of Congress
"Lessons
unfold naturally. You only need to recognize
1234567 and ABCDEFG and you can play."
Lisa M.
Mother of 5 year old
"THIS IS A LOT OF FUN!"
JEFF S.
4 Year Old Student
"This
method introduces students to the keyboard with finger numbers. Groups and
individuals from three years old and up, (even adults), can benefit from
this approach, which includes singing. Children often fight learning note
names, and I have found that this approach gets them playing before they
start to read."
Judy S.
Music Critic
"THE
EASY WAY TO PLAY!
A quick, easy way to learn the geography of
music -- transposing made easy."
Sarah H.
Piano Teacher
"Faster
and more interesting than conventional
methods -- it's a varied menu."
Mary J.
"During
an audition (of one of my students) for Fernando Laires of Interlocken Arts
Academy, he was so impressed with the quality of her instruction that he
asked to be shown how children could be taught the structure of music and
so readily play and sing scales and chords, transpose at sight, etc., whereupon
I replied, 'using the Stewart books as text'."
Sister Mary Andrew.
Piano Teacher
"Here's
the best way to teach yourself to play the keyboard."
Karen N.
Adult Beginner
"This
(Mrs Stewart's Piano Lessons) creates a feeling of 'I can do this!' -- removes
the fear element."
Dorothy H.
Adult Beginner
"The
Stewart Method is the most natural, logical and through approach imaginable."
