Why HMA?
“To be effective, education of any kind must take
place in an encouraging environment that inspires,
students to excel not because they have been
instructed to do so, but out of their own desire
to do so.”
Shiho Yamamoto
At the forefront of teaching innovations, ColorSoundation is HORIPRO Music Academy’s groundbreaking method, which employs color-coded exercises to help young children quickly develop essential music skills. It is HMA’s belief that through studying music at a young age, children will strengthen their self-esteem, capacity to think critically, and develop a sense of creative expression, aiding them not solely in music but in all intellectual endeavors. Developed and branded by HMA’s Director, ColorSoundation has successfully introduced
hundreds of children to academic musical study.
“ColorSoundation was cultivated from my experience studying music as young child and later as an instructor observing the ways children learn, identify and process sounds; the ColorSoundation teaching method explores the innate ability kids have to grasp languages and associate colors with sounds, providing a great foundation for not only music literacy, but learning and processing information.”—Shiho Yamamoto.
