James acquires Paul Renard's Music Dynamics®
Music School
As of April 2007 James Cebastien has acquired
Paul Renard's Music Dynamics® Music School.
Many years of research have produced the
Music Dynamics® method of learning to play the piano. It is a unique
copy written system of teaching music that has been successfully taught
in Chicago for the past 30 years. Music Dynamics® teaches people to
read keyboard music at sight through a programmed learning experience.
Because the initial training sessions are monitored one-on-one lessons,
there is no practice for the first seven or eight lessons!
Students learn to combine the visual skills of speed reading with the
finger reaction of touch typing. This allows them to play (read) using
both hands skillfully the first time. With Music Dynamics® the learning
experience is centered in the spontaneous work done in the studio. At
a certain point the student can reinforce at home what has been taught
in the studio. "Practice” is used to smooth out the song -
not for learning how to play the song.
It is never too late to learn something new. Even if you play only once
a week at your lesson, you are playing piano and getting away from the
hustle and noise of life. Many people do it on their lunch hour while
downtown.
Study With a True Professional
James Cebastien has successfully taught piano lessons for over thirty
years.
Some of his well-known former Chicago students include real estate giant
Paul Beitler, David
Hollister of the Backstreet Boys, Douglas
Kraner, involved in the production design of “The
Untouchables”, “Sleeping With the Enemy” and “Uncle
Buck”and even a few lessons with the famous Richard
Marx (singer/songwriter in the 80’s). Many local
well-known artists and peers have studied and coached with him.

Description of What We Teach:
This unique and effective system of reading music gives you the skill
of playing piano music at sight. A programmed learning approach is learned in the first several hours
of one-on one class instruction.
I offer piano lessons in a programmed-learning approach. This means
that a beginner student masters each part of the system separately :
1. Basic Theory, including rhythm and time values
2. interval identification or the "notes",
3. Trace patterns of how to feel the intervals in the fingers, and
finally
4. The peripheral line exercise that keeps the eye on the page while
reading music.
When these levels are completed (in about 4-7 lessons) the student
sight-reads specific songs in class in the monitored presence of
the teacher. Over time the songs get gradually more advanced to the
degree that a student could eventually read almost any piece of music.
I will say that anyone can learn this approach. It is not based on
musical ability, but rather on principles similar to touch-typing
and
reading of words.
I will be available to answer further questions at 312 944 1252.
I don't answer when in session, but if you leave a call back number
I
will return your call a.s.a.p..
When the basic technique has been mastered after the initial programming,
lessons will consist of actual sight-reading; special and selected
songs are sight read (played) in class with the teacher monitoring
every song,
to make corrections and maintain consistency.
Music Dynamics is
a form of mind-programming through the lesson structure which
initiates a
learning pattern then re-enforces it. It also prevents the
student from creating
his own errors through the “no practice format”.
This allows the instructor to control the outcome of every lesson
at all times.
It allows the subconscious mind to expand both the visual (peripheral)
and finger faculties by distracting the conscious mind through
concentration on the peripheral (centering) line.
It gives the right combination of structured factors based
on one’s
learning capacities. The peripheral line creates a self hypnotic
factor so that the physical, optical and audial faculties
of the body can work
properly and natturally.We monitor the student’s actions
and control and organize their usage.
Lessons are $45 per session
of 55 minutes (this allows each person to settle in between
clients
and start on
time).The preferred financial arrangement is monthly payments
in advance.*
All lessons are given at the studio in the Chicago Gold
Coast, near Michigan and Chicago Aves. (312)
