right Simply Music is a music education institution licensing teachers at over 700 locations worldwide. Australian music educator Neil Moore founded it on the core belief that all humans are naturally musical.〔http://simplymusicpiano.com/about-us/〕 Simply Music offers programs for students from birth through old age, with the stated goal of creating "a culture where people of all ages readily acquire and maintain music as a lifelong companion." Simply Music patterns its approach after primary language acquisition, where speaking comes first.〔http://simplymusicpiano.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/SMP_Student1.pdf〕 In this it shares some philosophical ground with other developmental approaches like Kodály, Orff-Schulwerk, and the Suzuki Method.〔Campbell, Patricia Shehan and Carol Scott-Kassner. ''Music in Childhood: From Preschool through the Elementary Grades''. New York: Schirmer, 1995. 47-57. Print〕 ==History== Neil Moore began constructing the Simply Music method in the late 20th century while teaching piano to a young blind student. Since traditional music-reading would not serve this student, Moore designed a program based on his own childhood musical experiences. Instead of reading music, as a child Moore had naturally visualized patterns within the songs and on the keyboard. He explained these building blocks to this student, who learned to play piano himself and began teaching the songs to his four-year-old sister, who was also blind. This spurred Moore to begin testing his ideas more widely, and he found this approach natural and successful for students of all ages and abilities. Other piano teachers began learning from Moore. When he could no longer personally train them all, Moore founded the Simply Music organization and developed a remote certification program that is currently available to teachers in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.〔Ashby, Bernadette E. “Coming Home: The Story of One Man.” ''A World Where Everyone Plays''. Ed. Bernadette E. Ashby. Sunnyvale, CA: Efting Press, 2011. 1-7. Print.〕 Later, Simply Music expanded to include early childhood music education, and also partnered with Hohner to adapt the methodology for the accordion.〔http://simplymusicaccordion.com/about-simply-music-accordion/〕 Most of this article applies to both the piano and accordion programs, while the early childhood program will be addressed separately. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simply Music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
