Her process, following the Orff Shulwerk method, is very approachable as she walks young musicians through 12 lessons learning musical notes and chords on a keyboard through a colour dot method. She uses stickers to represent the notes, flashcards to learn the rainbow chords and video/audio links for students to access for further help.
