Simply Music Program vs. Traditional Note-Reading Method

For those you who are wondering what the pros and cons of these two learning approaches are, here's a brief overview:

The benefits of the Simply Music program is that it keeps the students' interest because students can play great-sounding songs right at the beginning, covering a wide variety of styles including classical, contemporary, blues, gospel, and accompaniment songs. Its main goal is to allow students to have fun playing, and have music as their lifelong companion.

The traditional note-reading method can be less interesting for students at first, since they can only read so many notes at the beginning, and the repeated playing of the same notes doesn't sound very interesting. The only style that students play would be mostly classical-only, but students can become more technically deft if they are willing to practice a lot.
