Teach your students to understand music through audiation.

Here at Music Learning Academy, we are dedicated to supporting teachers as they trial, establish and grow a thriving audiation-based piano studio using the principles of Music Learning Theory or Marilyn Lowe's Music Moves for Piano method.

You may be asking, what exactly is audiation?

Simply put, audiation is comprehending music

But of course, it’s more complex than that. When your students audiate,  they will listen to, perform, create, read, and write music with understanding

What do I mean by understanding music?

When your students audiate, they will…

  • Identify tonality and meter
  • Naturally keep a steady beat
  • Create, improvise and compose music all...the...time
  • Harmonize tunes with ease
  • Always progress and learn, despite whether they practice or not (yes, I said it!)
  • Bring meaning to notation without the aide of the piano
  • Become independent musicians

When your students audiate, you will…

  • Be amazed at the musical potential of every single student in your studio
  • Experience more guiding and less teaching
  • Learn to audiate with your students (I could never play by ear before and now I find myself sitting and just…knowing)
  • Know how to approach every challenge your student experiences
  • Enjoy frustration free piano lessons (although your jaw may ache from smiling so much)

Hello!

I am Krista Jadro, owner of Music Learning Academy. 

To say that Music Learning Theory (audiation) and Marilyn Lowe’s Music Moves for Piano are a passion of mine, may be an understatement. 

Since 2001, audiation-based instruction has guided my students of all ages and abilities to listen to, perform, improvise, compose, read and write music with understanding and I am thrilled to share these experiences and my knowledge with you. 

Whether you came to dip your toe into Music Learning Theory or jump on the audiation train at full speed, you are in the right place and I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
