Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To! is a new system of learning which teaches students, their families and their instructors how to derive the most benefit from instruction in the least possible time. In a no-nonsense but humorous style, it  offers hundreds of ideas, tips and suggestions which enable students to learn practically anything two to four times faster, easier, with more success and less frustration.

 

During the workshop/demonstration, Mr. and Mrs. Satz will take volunteers from the audience, teach them all the white keys on a piano keyboard, and how to read music notation and within  less than  ten minutes, the volunteers will play a simple piece on the piano by notes.

 

Although originally geared for music instruction, the Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To! method works for anything requiring practice, study, repetition and memorization, and it actually cuts months, sometimes even years from the learning process. This new method of teaching/learning has engendered so much interest that the Florida Department of Education is including portions of the book in the new Sunshine States Standards. In addition, the Dade County School Board has scheduled a three hour seminar for school teachers, for which they will receive educational credit.

Friday, Sept. 25th We’re on Comcast Newsmakers

On Friday, september 25th, 2009 we will tape a spot on Comcast Newsmakers. We’ll tell you all about Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To! by Phyllis Sdoia-Satz and Barry Satz. The 5 minute spot will air 40 times during the month of October.  Look for us.

Practicing Sucks Is the Real Deal.

 

It has come to our attention that, in an effort to increase business in this lean economy,  several music schools have been telling  prospective students that Sdoia-Satz Music Institute is ridiculously  expensive, and that their school ”uses the same methods” as Sdoia-Satz and  they charge a lot less. A word to the wise:  When looking for fine music instruction, NEVER, NEVER be misled by false advertising.  If you talk to music schools, don’t just accept what they tell you out-of-hand. Ask questions, lots of questions. Make them prove what they say (as we do. See our website www.sdoiasatz.com)

 

The facts are these: The Sdoia-Satz Music Method teaches students how to learn practically anything (not just music) that requires study, repetition, and practice in such a way as to maximize success, minimize frustration and cut the learning time by at least half.  That’s who we are; that’s what we do, we have proven again and again that the method works, and frankly, there just isn’t any substitute.

 

Oh, and about us costing more: Although studying with Sdoia-Satz may seem more expensive, it really isn’t. Because students achieve their goals two – four times faster than other learning programs, in the long run, it actually costs less. Besides, in keeping with the downturn in the economy, Sdoia-Satz Music Institute has recently reduced some charges, removed some pre-requisites and is offering options that reduce the cost of music instruction substantially.   Our prices are now not just “competitive”.  We might just be beating the competition, in cost as well as quality.

 

The very unique, revolutionary methods used at Sdoia-Satz Music Institute were created by us, they are copyrighted, they have been demonstrated dozens of times on national and regional TV and Phyllis Sdoia-Satz has written a series of books and CD’s about them (Warner Bros., Alfred Music). The most recent book, “Practicing Sucks…But It Doesn’t Have To!!!” is being published by Rowman and Littlefield and will be on the bookshelves summer, 2009.  In addition, hundreds of articles have been written in newspapers, magazines, and newsletters across the country, about the Sdoia-Satz Method.

 

 It is said that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and Sdoia-Satz Music Institute is pleased that other music schools find the little tidbits they have heard about our methods so worthwhile. But it takes more than just appreciation, or an attitude of “oh, I can do that, too” to be able to use the Sdoia-Satz Method with consistent success.  First of all, it takes very special teacher training in the Sdoia-Satz Method. Then, it takes a realization that the method really works, — remarkably well. And, — most important, it requires a sincere desire (of both the student and the teacher) to want to go “where no man has gone”, and to be willing to push the walls, the envelope, the barriers and the frontiers–HARD in order to achieve the desired goals.  

 

So, if you still want the best in music instruction and think you can’t afford it, think again. Don’t “settle” for less.  In the private sector, Sdoia-Satz Music Institute is, and always has been—the very best.  Call 305.754.3097.
