Baby at the piano with the Kaddouch method
A private lesson with Robert Kaddouch
Play the piano before you know how to speak
Babar, Winnie, Tigger and all their friends take over the piano. On the wall, scores of Noddy and a book of the Aristocats instead of musical methods. It is in this context that toddlers, from 5 months old, can taste the joys of the piano, thanks to a unique method, invented by the classical concertist Robert Kaddouch. Baby watches the keys, throws his chubby hands on the keyboard, while waddling on the bench. At this point, he improvises. Little by little, he discovers the sounds, those he prefers and those he likes a little less. He presses a key, looks up at his teacher, and waits for an answer. This reinforces, relaunches, proposes by its improv. Always starting from what the child does.
The musical dialogue continues in this way, during the 10 minutes of lessons. Too hard for Baby to concentrate more!
Improvisation before music theory
The goal is not to make Baby a Mozart bis, a little musical genius. In any case, to this day, Robert Kaddouch has not known a child who, like the young prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus, excels at the age of 3, composes his first works at 6 and writes an opera. at the age of 12. That would know! But all babies are talented … in their own way!
The Kaddouch pedagogy is now distributed in several cities in France and throughout the world (Belgium, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg, Austria, etc.). The pianist and educational researcher, Robert Kaddouch, has also become a consultant for the Quai d’Orsay for the establishment of “early childhood” structures within foreign conservatories.
