| These are some examples of children of various ages creating three dimensional music in the AMHC class. These are from the AMHC Phase II and Phase III. As always the child listens to the sound, makes the sound and then draws what they hear. All of the pictures represent the Pythagorean octave, unless otherwise stated. This is done on paper with various art mediums, such as; crayons, watercolors, and markers. I recommend Stockmar or Lyra and try to integrate it with precepts of the Waldorf method. Please see the John Coltrane page for an in depth study of music on paper. |

| "Music is the thread that weaves the academic day together." In the early years, the child is exposed to singing and music through the mother. In Grade 1, introduction to the pentatonic instruments usually begins - via the flute. As homeschoolers, teaching music and foreign language can seem very intimidating at times. The AMHC Program, created by Dr. Aurore Henze does just that - teaching pentatonic music and foreign language, with the added element of color and sound therapy woven effortless into the lessons. We are so enjoying this program! It encompasses songs in Spanish, German, and French... Dr. Henze has spent years studying and mastering alternative therapies. As a musician herself, it was only natural that she founded the AMHC and created a healing and holistic music program which encompasses color and sound therapy, along with foreign language and music appreciation and development. There is much to this program, though to implement it, all you really need is a few basic materials - mainly the book, some stickers, and a pentatonic instrument (glockenspiel, flute, or lyre are the ones she recommends) - though a complete list of recommended supplies is included in the book. Most waldorf inspired homeschooling parents will have block crayons and watercolor paints, etc. The program is easily laid out with each note of the pentatonic scale being assigned a therapeutic color based on the scientific research of color and sound by Dr. Darius Dinshah, author of "Let there be Light". Marking each note on the pentatonic glockenspiel (ours is an Auris from Sweden), the child can easily follow along with the sheet music, which is also color coded. They say the notes and then the colors as they play along. And then they can sing the lyrics once the song is mastered. This program does a wonderful job of not intimidating the child and allowing them the pleasure of being able to *read* the music to play a song which sounds fantastic thanks to the perfect pentatonic scale. I also love that this program can overlap with other songbooks so that it grows *endlessly* with the child. While I admit that I have not done much research on color therapy, I have heard some rave reviews about it from the holistic community. Seeing how well my daughters are taking to it and the success that Dr. Aurore has had with her own children (including her son who was not only healed from a diagnosis of autism, but was the youngest American musician to be invited to study at Interlochen in 2005) I feel very positive about the merits of this program. The confidence this program will build through the years can not be underestimated as within creation of any kind, comes true happiness and satisfaction. I believe this program strives for true music comprehension. If you have been looking for a program to enhance your music and foreign language studies, this just might be what you're looking for!
