Teaching Strategy

When an artist is forced to learn music song by song and instrument specific, the mastery of music can become a long and tedious task. When an artist learns the foundational building blocks of music and their instrument, the learning and mastery of music becomes rapid, reflex and relatively easy. Self motivation also becomes easier for the student because the student always plays their favorite songs through the learning process; no need for 200 year old studies or high stress examinations of songs you never really desired to learn anyway. In short, don't force yourself to learn Chopin when your heart is really yearning to learn Greenday.

The Spaulding Method focuses learning the foundations of music and not individual songs. This makes global comprehension of any song and any style a reality and compositional breeze. A fantastic by-product of this learning style is that is becomes simple to apply the foundational knowledge learned from one instrument to the next. Whether you stay in the same instrument family (Violin to Viola) or change all together (Piano to Guitar) the transition becomes fairly smooth and learning of the second instrument is quite accelerated.

Many students graduate from the Spaulding Method having learned many instruments in the same time it would normally take to learn one.
