"I find Elza Lusher's invention extraordinary - unique in the worldI am proud that I can support such a creation." (Prof. Cecilia Vajda - Student of Kodaly and Director of the Kodaly Institute of Britain). "It is a real treat to discover a new and imaginative approach to teaching the piano which really works and is completely accessible and user-friendly." (Faye Caley, Music Teacher magazine). "This fascinating set of materials from Elza and Chris Lusher is based on the principles of Kodaly teaching, enabling very young children to start their musical education before they can read notated music or understand the alphabet." (Maggie Williams, International Piano magazine). "A great pedagogical idea... definitely an important contribution in an area not over-endowed with good things." (John York, Piano magazine).
Elza Lusher was born in Hungary and obtained a degree in Piano Teaching from the Liszt Academy. She taught piano for five years in Hungary before moving to England in 1991. Elza has always incorporated Kodaly principles into her piano teaching, in particular the use of singing and listening to develop musicality. As piano tutor on the Kodaly Institute of Britain's Teachers' Course run by Prof. Cecilia Vajda she helped many piano teachers to use this approach. She developed the Dogs and Birds method, together with her husband Chris, a senior lecturer in physics at Royal Holloway University of London. The Dogs and Birds approach enables very young children (ages 3 to 7) to learn to play the piano, and includes a strong emphasis on singing.
