Immersing students in music tailored to their tastes and talents allows them deeper appreciation of the art of writing, singing, playing, and understanding music theory, technique, and practice. "Rather than competitive placements like first or second, we give trophies which reflect musical goals: Counting, Expression, Rhythm, Most Improved, Sight Reading, Dynamic Duets," she explained. Since founding Noteworthy Music in 1991, Crotty-Guile and her husband, Peter Guile, have employed an inclusive and individualized goal-setting curriculum to incentivize and build confidence and a sense of accomplishment in each student. I offer students space to find their own 'joyful energy' in each musical piece along the way." "Everyone has that sense of competition within them already, and they learn to deal with parts of themselves that say 'you're not good enough.' We emphasize the positive, transforming the negatives. "We encourage feeding the artist's spirit through affirmation and inspiration, enabling students to starve their inner-sabotage of competition & comparison, grounding themselves in a higher purpose of loving gratitude," Crotty-Guile said. Her dynamic and engaging approach has fostered a lifelong appreciation for learning in her students for over 43 years, and has let a legacy of profoundly enthusiastic musicians in her wake. Julie Crotty-Guile believes music should open doors, both for her students, and inside them.
