Kids learn music the fun
way!


In 2005  While living in Paris France, Israeli guitarist Maoz Ezra
developed a teaching method for the kindergarten children he
had been giving music lessons to.  Those lessons developed into
EzraGuitar for Little stars , a teaching method  that  teaches
children how to play, perform and to read music before they even
go to school.

At first, children will learn how to perform many favorite children
songs such as "Twinkle little star", as well as Holiday and family
songs that they can play for their families. As they progress
through the program, their repertoire will become more varied.
Among the many songs they will learn and have fun with will be
tunes such as "Autumn Leaves", "Rock around the clock", "yellow
submarine" , classical music and many more.

Ezraguitar is possible for everyone:


  • Its purpose is to introduce children to music through the
    guitar in a very accessible manner and to make it a positive
    experience

  • Children don't need to be music prodigies in order to
    succeed

  • The Method doesn't require a lot of practicing at home

  • Parents involvement can help and is encouraged, but is not
    required.
EzraGuitar  is unique by its approach to teaching. It is
based on a working group of 4-6 children. By using special group
performance techniques, a complicated and challenging
instrument like the guitar becomes easier and fun to learn. This
method indeed does wonders!

Children who study EzraGuitar not only learn to play many
songs, but they acquire other important skills such as the ability
to  read music, hear and play rhythms.  These basic skills are the
building blocks for further music education.  Apart from the
musical skills gained from EzraGuitar children develop:

  • Fine motor skills

  • Build Coordination

  • Self confidence

  • Improved Social skills; such as working in a group

  • A strengthened learning capacity

Through the 9 stages of the program , children will learn vast
repertoire of different styles. They will be familiar with all six strings
of the guitar in all the positions.

With over 200 graduates since it's initiation in Paris in 2005, the
method has been taught to Sharett school in Paris, as well
as to numerous schools in the New York city greater area
including PS 199 , PS 58, Solomon Schechter school and  the 92
street Y, among others. Over the last four years enrollments
have significantly increased, reflecting the popularity of the  
method among the children in the surrounding area.
