We offer special all-in-one courses from early childhood to professional music education. Namely, children (4 years of age and up) and students develop absolute pitch, quick long-term music memory, deep understanding and appreciation of classical music, and the skills needed for easy, enjoyable music composition. Any further or concurrent study of a musical instrument is made substantially easier and a lot more fun by the fundamental, rudimentary, as well as expert skills developed in these courses.
We use the patented Brainin Teaching Method, which has been presented at numerous international music education conferences as well as seminars and master-courses in Amsterdam (Holland), Vienna and Salzburg (Austria), Florence (Italy), Moscow and St. Petersburg (Russia), Pretoria and Stellenbosch (South Africa), Winchester (England), Tampa and Boston (USA), and Hannover (Germany).
Here you could also read some of the texts, which have been already published. This page is permanently under construction.
