I checked, Prodigy Mozart is NOT available on ebay!

[Nikita]

Not this week! I'm sure he'll have it back up..just keep checking from time to time.

I did like the style the best.  It's nice that there are other music education DVDs aimed at early learning.


To be honest, that's what I liked about the Trebellina DVD the best, showing how the notes being played correlated with the piano keyboard.  I did have some issues with it though that I hope they correct in the Rock Bassey DVD.

In my opinion the Rhythmo section was too rushed and his jumping doesn't seem to be in sync with the music.  Also, I wish the notes didn't look like they were just bouncing around.  If they were clearly jumping as their note was played, I think children would "get" what they're doing musically.   Trebellina's voice is clear and her sung notes are crisp (her singing is my baby's favorite part of the whole DVD).  Rock Bassey's voice is kind of nasal and affected, so I wonder how it will fare when he sings his own notes on the next DVD. 

That being said, it's still my baby's favorite DVD out of all of the ones we have, so they must be doing something right.

Modeling is one of the primary ways we learn, and being able to mimic in real time is a huge help, so any of these videos that let you play in sync because you can anticipate and coordinate with the visual cues to play on time is a very natural pathway to learning. When I did my thesis work in Brazil, I studied very complex sacred rhythms, and only by watching and mimicking (modeling) could I learn these complex pieces. I found anticipation to be the most vital clue, I could see the beginning of the movement and time my hitting the drum more exactly with theirs. In fact, visual cues abound in music making when you look for them. Think about the mirrors in dance classes, they are not just there for form but for people to be able to visually track the timing of the others and coordinate the rhythm of their movements. Dance is the mother of rhythm in most cultures, the first experience most people have coordinating and timing rhythmic movements. The great piano player Professor Longhair started out tap dancing as a child, kids in Brazil samba in their diapers, it is a great place to start, and pay attention to the visual cues.

I want this prodigy mozart VCD. It is not currently on Ebay. What's his deal, is he out of business? It's a VCD, why would it be there one week and not the next?

Is there any other way to get it?

[Nikita]

I want it to!! I've sent him a message (I think I've already sent one a while back but no response) so hope to hear back. Will let you know!

I sent him a random message today via youtube. I thought he was already out of business, but it was asking him about it.

Many people follow the suzuki program and students are encouraged to listen to the cd's frequently. What if instead of just listening to them, he could set it to his software and the suzuki students could listen AND see it? How cool would that be? I don't know if those particular songs are copy righted or not, but that would be so cool so I suggested it to him.

We have had some spirited discussion in this forum, with lots of curiosity and different points of view. We don't shrink from that, we hope to learn from it and take the best ideas and bring those tools to our homes to help our children grow.

With that in mind, we shared the free report on "Is Music a Birthright?"(http://www.brillkids.com/ext/partners/ebook-free-download-2.php) that gives some perspective the challenges of learning music, and their roots, some of which was brought out in our discussions. SoftMozart has some similar, more in depth articles on the origins and challenges of traditional music notation as well, the summary of which you can see in this thread (http://forum.brillkids.com/teaching-your-child-music/information-about-music-history-and-theory-every-parent-should-know/new/#new). What I also added, in a different section, to try and give some perspective of the range of approaches and choices, is a series of posts about the four common approaches to learning piano (up to now). I believe that our methods, both Hellene of SoftMozart and Piano Wizard Academy, begin to shape a "fifth way". What is important to appreciate is they were both developed in response to something that was not really working, in the context of the limitations of the other approaches, trying to compensate for those gaps and yet leverage their strengths. Though each method has its advocates and champions, including Hellene and I for our own, and those advocates can be as we have seen quite passionate and compelling, NONE OF THESE APPROACHES IS PERFECT. We do strive to honestly "perfect" our process every day, with more and more knowledge, and this forum has been I think very fruitful in its exploration of the options. Here is my latest contribution to that conversation.

Below is the link to that section of the forum.

I don't know how many parents are following all this, but I can tell you if you are, you are now MUCH more knowledgeable about both the challenges of music education, and the pallet of options available, and I hope it helps you all find your own unique solution to your children's needs, and leads to a less dogmatic, more practical, efficient and fun way to bring music into their lives.
