Empowering Musicians Through Innovative Learning
At Mr. Natural's Music School, we have been proud to bring high-quality, low-cost music lessons to the Bay Area since 1984. Our school was founded on a simple yet profound idea: to bridge the musical gap between musicians who can only read music and those who can only play by ear. Over the years, we have developed a unique approach to music theory and teaching that has allowed us to achieve our goal.
What Sets Us Apart
At Mr. Natural's Music School, we believe that music should be taught as an art form. We use intervals to teach our students the basics of music, rather than relying solely on ABCs or do-re-mi. By using numbers to describe the musical scale, we can help our students to see patterns and relationships in music that may not be immediately apparent. This approach has allowed our students to develop a deep understanding of music and to become well-rounded musicians who can play, read, improvise, compose, and analyze music.
Our Teaching Philosophy
We believe that the best way to develop a well-rounded musician is to get them to think like a composer. We ask our students to imagine that they are writing a song, and then we help them to develop the skills necessary to bring their creative ideas to life. This approach has allowed our students to develop a strong sense of musicality and to become confident in their abilities as musicians.
