History

The Harman Music Methods® is a relatively young system when compared to well- established music schools and systems such as the Yamaha Music School and the Suzuki School of Music.

Initiated in Paris in 1988 as a research project, How to Design Methods for Teaching Musical Instruments, by John Lambert Harman, the Harman Music Methods® were first applied at the designer's own music school, L'Association Harman Pour La Musique. In the early 1990s, parts of the programme were used to teach children and adults in various schools in London. It was later used in Denmark, notably in Copenhagen at Den Rytmiske Aftenskole (evening school for music students).
