Applying Simultaneous Learning in lessons and practice Simultaneous Learning is an approach that I’ve been developing for many years now. I have written extensively about it, observed many lessons and discussed and presented my ideas to teachers all over the world. It is a pro-active (rather than re-active) approach, based on the brain’s natural desire to learn organically. It’s about creating a flow of continuously achievable and appropriate musical activities that lead to real understanding. Ultimately it produces positive and independent learners. The Simultaneous Learning way of teaching is based on 4 principles. We teach pro-actively – not reactively (of course we do react – but not to poor, misunderstood or mistake-filled work). We teach through the ‘ingredients’ of the music, we make lots of connections, and we do this all in an empowering, non-judgemental and positive way. I’ve created these two free resources to further help teachers and students put Simultaneous Learning into practice, both during lesson time and at home, and to make those crucial connections between all of the musical ‘ingredients’: The Simultaneous Learning Map of the Musical World presents all of the musical ‘ingredients’, showing that everything connects. It is an ideal aid for use in lessons and practice when learning to thinking in a truly Simultaneous Learning way. A lesson is really a voyage of discovery around this map, moving in a logical and sequential way from one area to another. When lessons really follow this process, pupils begin to see and get the whole picture resulting, ultimately, in really knowing and understanding their music. The Simultaneous Learning Practice Map is a revolutionary way to set up practice. Take a piece to be practised and write its title in the box; add words to describe the character of the piece underneath. Then set about filling in the significant features in the appropriate bubbles and begin working through these, drawing lines to make connections between them as you go along. You will achieve some really effective Simultaneous Practice! You can use a Practice Map for new pieces or for pieces in a more advanced state of learning. 16 Paul Harris Catalogue
