Meridee’s method appeals to each individual’s natural sense of musical wonder by encouraging creative innovation and higher level thinking. While covering the knowledge and skills that traditional lessons address (repertoire, skill drills, flash cards, reading, chords and more), the Meridee Winters School of Music also goes a step beyond by building creativity and higher level thinking through supplemental materials and our exclusive method. The generally accepted method for teaching an instrument (in other words, what everyone else does) is to teach only at the lowest level of learning – rote and recall. Meridee Winters lessons, however, with their emphasis on creativity and innovative thinking, help build creative intelligence by tapping into the brain’s highest level of learning. 

Each lesson is customized to suit the student. Through patterns, themes and songs and with the help of Meridee’s exclusive books and games, students get the unique opportunity to learn more than just an instrument. MW students learn to think critically and creatively while also learning to express themselves. 

Meridee's exclusive method also addresses the unique needs of young beginners, students with ADHD and alternative learners. With her creative curriculum and original materials that incorporate concepts like stimulus variation, universal music patterns, creative songwriting and improvisation, Meridee Winters has seen her unique music method benefit thousands of students. Every MW lesson is custom tailored to suit a student's specific needs and goals, resulting in a fun and successful musical experience. 

Here are some of Meridee’s Original Teaching Books and Materials:

Piano Karate Series

Many finger exercise books do just that - exercise fingers. These books go beyond just finger exercises, urging students to flex their brains and imaginations, while gaining valuable skills and learning the power of patterns. Let your “karate master” teach you about chords, arpeggios and more while you work your way to the ultimate challenge - your belt test. These books prove that finger exercises can be FUN!  

Chord Crash Course

Meridee's “Chord Crash Course” provides piano students with essential musical skills, great results and a strong foundation for their own creativity. Before creating the MW School of Music, Meridee Winters owned a recording studio. She found that many vocalists could not play piano or guitar, and as a result, could not write a song on their own! As a solution, Meridee developed a “crash course” that gave them the chord theory and skills they needed, helping hundreds of musicians become better writers and performers. Years later, Meridee began teaching piano to children, and found that her “Chord Crash Course” was a great tool for students of all ages. The end result is a music book unlike any other, designed to provide you with great results and a strong foundation for your own creativity.
