In Simultaneous Learning: The definitive guide Paul lays out an entirely positive and imaginative way of teaching, embracing the principle that all elements of music are connected. This book dispels the idea that learning music is ‘difficult’. Through his method, every hurdle and stage of the learning process is broken down to make it achievable. Delving into how we learn, Paul explains how Simultaneous Learning can be used in all areas of learning through its logical approach. As a result, each component ‘will be completed with virtually total success’ and can be accomplished by any learner."--Publisher's description.
