About the Author: Paul Harris

Paul Harris

Paul Harris studied at the Royal Academy of Music and the University of London, then built a global following as one of Britain's most influential music educators. His catalogue exceeds 500 publications, and he developed Simultaneous Learning, a pedagogical approach now taught across continents. His work marries rigor with imagination and real-world classroom application.

Harris conducts workshops internationally and writes regularly for music education publications. His Improve Your Teaching and Improve Your Sight-Reading series have shaped how musicians approach instruction. He is published by Faber Music and maintains an active teaching practice alongside his writing and seminar leadership.

Why we love this

Harris cuts through the noise of method books and tutors to address what actually matters: how to teach. This book doesn't prescribe a single system but instead equips you with principles, strategies, and concrete ideas that adapt to your students and your context. If your first lessons often feel like you're improvising, or if you wonder whether your practice routines are building real foundations, this book will clarify your thinking and restore your confidence.

Who it's for

This is essential reading for private lesson teachers, group instructors, and anyone responsible for beginning musicians. You don't need to be a novice teacher to benefit; experienced instructors discover fresh approaches and validation for what already works in their teaching.

How to use it

Keep this within arm's reach during your planning season. Work through one chapter per month alongside your actual teaching; the ideas become clearer when you test them immediately with your students. Share relevant sections with colleagues who teach beginners, or use it as a foundation text if you mentor newer teachers.
