Tutti Method Belief In Growth Over Outcome

Tutti Method Teacher Training

The Tutti Method is a unique teacher training that uses music not just as a subject but as a powerful tool to enhance overall well being and personal growth. Our approach emphasizes the role of music in fostering better communication, social interaction, confidence, motor skills, and other essential life skills. Rather than focusing solely on music exams or technical perfection, the Tutti Method prioritises the joy of music, whether it be playing individually or collaboratively.

At the heart of the Tutti Method is a belief in growth over outcomes. We recognize that when students truly enjoy their learning journey, they will thrive naturally. This approach helps learners to develop intrinsic goals in music while cultivating a wide range of soft skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

The training is structured across five core modules which consist of Communication, Motivation, Generational Profile, Professionalism, and Pedagogy. The training duration will take about one to two whole days.

Upon completion of this training, teachers will have the competency to tailor well structured lessons with innovation, inspiration and deliver training to students effectively.

Teachers are trained to have the ability to identify student’s personality and inborn intelligence.

Teachers are trained to have the ability to communicate with various age group, as young as 2 years old kids to teenagers and adults.

Teachers are trained to deliver the right amount of lesson contents to achieve the Goldilock Rule in teaching.

“The Day I Knew Music Education Needed to Change”

When I was 16, I signed up for guitar lessons with one goal in mind, to rock on an electric guitar and become a rockstar. But my guitar teacher told me, “No! Must learn classical guitar first.” Then, he conveniently sold me my first classical guitar.

Fine. I practised hard, got pretty good, and after two years, I asked again, “Can I learn electric guitar now?” He said, “Not yet. Learn folk guitar first.” Then, he sold me a steel-string folk guitar.

By the third year, I tried again. “Can I learn electric guitar now?” Finally, he said yes! And guess what? He sold me my first electric guitar. Then, he casually admitted, “Actually, I don’t know how to teach electric guitar.” 🤦‍♂️

That was when I realised, I had spent years learning things that weren’t even part of my goal. Instead of playing electric guitar, I was dragged through classical and folk guitar, all because of someone else’s agenda. Time wasted, passion delayed.

At 20, I started teaching at a music school, eager to pass on everything I had learned. I wanted my students to progress fast and play their hearts out. However my boss pulled me aside and said, “Slow down. The slower you teach, the more money we make.”

That’s when it hits me! I had been the victim of a system that prioritizes on profit over real learning.

And that was the moment I knew that music education needed to change.
