What is the Music Energizer?

The Music Energizer is an interactive music tutor designed to help beginning music students learn music songs on flutophone, soprano recorder and piano.

This program is inspired by the acclaimed Smart Music software by Coda Music Technologies.

How is the Music Energizer program different from other educational music programs?

Many music programs available for beginning music students consist of informative theory lessons, games and drills in reading and understanding music notation.

Or in the case of Smart Music, sophisticated software designed for beginning band or advanced instrumental and vocal students.

The Music Energizer however is geared toward beginning music students and focuses on reading music, learning musical songs and teaching flutophones, soprano recorder and beginning piano.

Why is it different?

The developer of the Music Energizer program observed that class time instruction was inadequate for mastery of instrumental and musical skills towards learning songs. Some families even lacked musical training to help their child practice.

So an instructional strategy was formed that focused on

Active Learning--Students that take greater responsibility for their own learning. hat take greater possibility fo their own learning.

Now with the development of the Music Energizer, practice time now became a resource for independent practice.

Students at home or with their parents could work towards mastering songs and developing an understanding about their instrument of choice.
