"I tried many courses before but this was the first one where things clicked and I started FEELING the musical concepts.
Music has another meaning for me now. It's a powerful course."
– David B., Bass, Portugal
"At age 75 I had doubts I could learn it... But I could go at my own pace and it's helping me become the musician I desire to."
– Jan J., Recorder, Netherlands
"WOW! All I can say is 'wow'!"
– Christine P., Flute, U.S.A.
Do you realise...
There are only 12 notes in music.
And most songs only use 7.
So how can something that sounds so simple…
Be so damned hard to play?
It used to drive me crazy when I saw someone who could just “pick up and play”.
Because I was stuck painstakingly reading note-by-note from sheet music, chord charts and tab…
What they did seemed like magic.
And I always thought it took “talent”.
But the truth turns out to be much, much stranger…
What if there was a way to flip the "TALENT SWITCH" in your brain...
So that even if you've never felt you had any musical gift...
You could instantly experience the freedom of having a deep and natural instinct for music.
Play any song, any time, with no preparation needed.
The music just flowing out from inside you through your instrument.
We’ve all been told that to play like that you need to be born gifted.
But what if that’s wrong?
If I told you that right now you have more musical talent inside you than you ever dreamed possible…
And that all it takes to unlock that talent...
Is a 100-year old method unlike anything you’ve tried before.
Imagine a way of learning music which doesn't slowly teach you instrument technique and written notation....
And instead it activates your natural instinct for music.
Rapidly installing a new set of “mental models” that reveal how music works.
So that all the musical knowledge your subconscious mind has quietly spent years soaking up, every time you’ve heard or played music…
Is instantly given names and structure, and put at your fingertips…
And you can automatically recognise every note, chord and rhythm by ear.
Now I know that might sound like a crazy pipe dream to you right now…
Even now, looking back, it seems crazy to me.
In fact the method I’ll be sharing with you on this page has been used successfully now by over 11,000 music learners of all kinds.
That’s right.
Almost 100 years ago a famous composer...
Widely considered one of the most talented musicians of all time, and whose works are still renowned today...
Devoted himself to answering one question.
"Why are some people musically talented - while the other 99% are not?"
What he discovered finally revealed why some musicians seem to have that powerful natural instinct for music we call “talent”.
And it had nothing to do with genetics, magic, or a mysterious God-given gift.
(weirdly, as I’ll tell you about in a minute, the “missing piece” was actually something first found in Hungarian school-children…)
Once he had this breakthrough insight, he was able to develop a unique method which could take any regular person off the street…
... and turn them into a seemingly-talented "natural" musician - in just weeks.
On this page I’m going to share with you exactly what this method is...
As well as:
- The weird-looking way this method trains you to physically feel note pitches, so that you cannot help but know “That’s a C, that’s a D, that’s an F, that’s an A, etc.” whenever you hear a tune.
- How this special method has been hidden away from music learners for so long - despite there being 1,000+ books, articles and research papers proving that it works.
- And the awkward truth I need to admit to you about why I was the last person you’d expect to find advocating for this method...
The best part of all is that this works no matter what age you are…
What instrument and style of music you play…
And whatever level of “natural” ability you’ve seemed to have up until now.
It just works.
Like David from the U.K. who tried it and went from “tone deaf” to playing multiple instruments in just weeks.
I had loved music all my life - but got told as a kid I couldn’t sing and should keep quiet. In retirement I decided to give it a try, and see what this six-week course could do.
Now I have this vastly increased understanding... and I’m even starting to sing! That’s mind-blowing."
Or Min, who got told she was “too old” to learn piano… but with this method found she could soon play freely, in a stress-free way.
I find that this is playing music. This is enjoyment.
This is not like a test, that I need to "translate" this sheet music.
Now it's stress-free.”
Or Lisa who gave up music after high school - but with this new method quickly unlocked an ability to play by ear and improvise.
When I found you could actually learn to play by ear and improvise, I was just so excited.
It was like getting a magical skill or superpower.
I'm doing things with music I never expected!"
"Surely if such a "magic" method really existed, we would all have heard about it by now?"
And the strange thing is…
This unique method actually dates back almost a hundred years!
For decades it’s been the secret weapon of the world’s musical elite.
Kept quiet behind the scenes, reserved for only a select few who would use it to go on to become apparent “prodigies”.
So if you haven't heard of it before, it's not your fault.
This method was once famous.
It was known worldwide.
There was a time when every well-respected music educator knew its name - and its power.
The creator of this method travelled internationally to give speeches (at a time when that was a rare thing) including at Stanford University.
And was even given an honourary doctorate by a prestigious university in England.
But...
As the years passed, this method faded from view.
Why? Because music schools and conservatories began to focus more and more on simply reproducing the great masterworks of the past…
Or “teaching to the test” as we call it today.
Focusing entirely on instrument technique.
And producing generations of students who were more like musical robots than true music-makers…
So that today “learning music” is almost synonymous with “learning the technique of perfectly playing written music”.
And anything which actually empowers the musician to create or express their own musical ideas, or break free of the rigidly-defined sheet music - gets classed as “talent”.
i.e. beyond the reach of “mere mortals”.
Still, this powerful method lived on, out of sight.
Kept alive year after year by small pockets of "insiders" around the world...
And kept unknown and out of reach for the average music learner.
Now all that is starting to change...
Around the world, music educators and learners alike are re-discovering how this one unique method can utterly transform a person's musical abilities - and bring ease and joy to the entire experience of learning music.
- Unlike traditional music education, this isn't fixated on instrument technique.
Those systems that train you to be a perfect note-reproducing robot, and drain away all the magic and excitement of music.
- Unlike all the approaches which begin with sheet music, chord charts or tab, this isn't designed to teach you to simply reproduce other people's music.
... all while reinforcing the assumption that only "special" musicians compose or improvise, and you couldn't possibly have your own musical ideas to contribute.
- And unlike music schools and conservatories, there is absolutely no natural "talent" or genetic "gift" required to excel and reach the highest heights.
This is a method which shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that everything we've been taught takes an inexplicable and mysterious "you've-got-it-or-you-don't" X-Factor - actually boils down to simple, concrete, learnable skills.
This method can work for you too.
Because no matter how bad your situation seems right now...
Even if you've been struggling, feeling like you're "not talented" or lack any kind of musical "gift"...
Even if you've been discouraged by friends, family members, teachers or other musicians, told you're "tone deaf", "not a natural", or "can't carry a tune"...
And even if you've nearly given up hope of ever achieving your musical dreams...
... it doesn't matter.
Because the moment you adopt this unique method to learning music, you'll find all those challenges, frustrations, and apparent limitations...
... just seem to fade away.
And in their place you're left with an experience of learning music that is - to use the word we hear most often from musicians who use it - a joy.
There is nothing like it:
Discovering new skills bursting out of you... without you even realising you'd been learning them.
→ If you're a guitar player you'll be able to pick exactly the right notes on the fretboard, playing musically-meaningful solos that feel like an expression of you and your musical ideas.
(not to mention easily playing riffs, licks and chords by ear)
→ If you play piano or keyboard you will understand the keys under your fingers in a way you never have before, seeing all the underlying patterns and connections between the notes you play...
... and knowing instinctively which notes work together to sound great.
→ If you're a string, wind or brass player you'll be amazed at the new possibilities that open up for you, to break free of the sheet music, trusting your own ears and intuition to know the notes to play.
It's a whole new world of music-making.
→ If you're a singer (of any level) you'll finally be able to just glance at sheet music and know instinctively how it should sound, letting you sight-sing new repertoire with ease.
(singers also love this method for how it hones their rhythm and intonation, and automatically reveals how to sing your own harmonies by ear)
Over 11,000 musicians now swear by this method after seeing what it could do in just weeks, to unleash their inner "instinct" for music and transform their musical lives.

So what exactly is this "missing piece", and the method which puts it in place?
Although it may seem like there's a huge difference between the average music learner and the "talented" greats, it turns out that there is just one thing that matters...
It's something which mainstream music education utterly fails to deliver – yet which can make all the difference and transform any aspiring musician into a confident “natural”.
- This doesn’t require any innate “talent” or special “gift” for music. But it can make you feel like you have both of those things.
- This doesn’t require a lot of time. In fact once you put this missing piece in place, you’ll find you seem to have a lot more time for music – because (just like those “naturals”) everything seems to come easily now, as each thing you’re learning just slots smoothly into place in your brain.
- And it doesn’t matter what instrument or style of music you play, or whether you’ve been playing for weeks, years or decades.
Put this missing piece in place – and you’ll discover a whole new relationship with all the music you hear, love, imagine, sing and play.
Without that missing piece, everything is much harder than it needs to be...
Even with a good teacher and great resources, it can feel like a gruelling battle to improve in music.
You carefully learn each new piece of music note-by-note in your practice sessions – but then you always feel nervous to go beyond what you’ve carefully practiced and prepared.
You feel limited because you’re prone to hitting the wrong notes or making some other embarrassing mistake when you go out into the “real” world of music.
Add in all the different musical skills and all the activities you want to include and improve in – and it quickly becomes overwhelming.
There’s too much to juggle and just never enough time.
If feels like even the time you do have is somehow being wasted…
And at the same time, we all know music can come easily.
You’ve seen it before, right?
Those musicians who can sing anything, play anything, pick just the right notes in any key, any style, any musical situation…
They seem to have absolutely no fear or nervousness in music.
It’s like they have a deep instinctive connection to music that lets them feel free and do whatever they want to easily.
We’ve all been taught that some people are “talented” or “gifted”.
So when we see those amazing musicians, we assume they just “have it”.
They’ve got something we don’t, and those impressive skills are probably beyond us.
Over the last 10 years scientific researchers have dug deep into this question of “talent”.
The conclusion of all the research is clear.
According to Cambridge University’s “Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance” over 100 leading scientists have now studied this topic in a wide variety of disciplines and have all come to the same conclusion:
There Is No Such Thing As “Talent”.
Everything that looks from the outside like a “gift” in fact was built, step-by-step, through hard work and practice.
As Harvard Business Review put it:
Sure, some people seem to find it easier to begin with, making us think they’re a “natural”. But that headstart quickly fades away.
None of those musical skills which seem magical, like:
- Playing by ear
- Sight-singing
- Improvising
-
Jamming
None of those require any special innate abilities...
Every single one of those skills can be learned.
In fact, you might have already discovered books, courses and training which promise to teach you these “inner skills” of music.
But there’s a serious problem which means that trying to learn these skills ends up being hard, slow, frustrating work.
(So hard, slow and frustrating in fact that most musicians give up.)
After attempting “ear training” or studying up on music theory, it doesn’t seem like we’re any closer to these amazing skills we were craving.
So we come back to the idea of “talent” and decide we just don’t have what it takes…
What’s hidden from view is:
There’s actually a systematic problem with the way we learn music.
It puts music learners at a huge disadvantage.
And we don’t even realise it.
We all know that learning needs to be a step-by-step process.
But:
What if the process you’ve been given actually has a step missing?
And what if that “missing step” isn’t just any old step – it’s the first step.
Let me put it like this:
Imagine you wanted to build a skyscraper.
Where would you start?
Not with the roof.
Or by laying down bricks.
Not if you had any sense at all.
Because if you did start with those later steps…
Everything you built would have a tendency to collapse.
It would be incredibly hard to make any progress.
You could struggle and grind away…
Putting in the hours, and all the blood, sweat and tears you had to give...
But however hard you worked…
And however quickly you put new pieces in place….
It would feel like you were frantically rushing…
But getting absolutely nowhere.
Why?
Because as we all know, you need to start with the foundation.
Without a foundation, any other steps you try to take will be much harder than they need to be.
Without a foundation, all the pieces you lay down are random, disjointed, and hard to make sense of.
Without a foundation, you’re doomed to perpetually struggle without making progress.
Crumbling right back to square one, again and again.
To put it bluntly:
Without the right foundation you’re just wasting your time.
But when you do put the right foundation in place…
It instantly becomes easy to build on top.
And not only can you build as high as your heart’s desire…
You can even enjoy the process along the way.
Because every bit of effort you put in actually produces real results.
So what does that have to do with musicians and “talent”?
Well, for decades now the scientific research has shown that “talented” musicians are different from the average struggling music learner in one key way.
While the average music learner struggles away trying to “pile on bricks”...
The “talented” ones have first put the right foundation in place.
And what exactly is the “right foundation”?
All the research points to just one thing:
So-called “talented” musicians have
“more sophisticated mental representations”.
Meaning: they understand music in a different way.
And that makes sense, right?
Because we can see that they experience music and can express themselves in music in ways that show their brain is clearly tuned in to how music works in a fundamentally different way than we seem to.
It seems like they just have a “musical mind”.
But here’s the fascinating thing:
“Sophisticated” doesn’t mean “Complicated”.
In fact, it turns out that what can transform a musician into feeling like a “natural” isn’t a vastly complicated mental model packed with music theory and extensive decades of instrument practice.
What matters is:
Having the right foundation
of suitable mental models.
You don’t need to understand every detail of all music in full complexity to start playing by ear.
Or improvising.
Or sight-singing directly from notation.
What you need are mental models for understanding music in a way that matches up with the tasks you’re trying to do.
Think about it:
What’s the difference between you and those great “natural” musicians you admire?
It’s not their level of instrument technique.
Sure, that can be impressive – but flashy technique is only going to wow an audience for a minute or two. After that, you better have something more substantial to keep them enthralled.
It’s not the instrument technique that makes us look at a musician and think “Wow, I want to be like that“.
It’s the ease, the confidence, the freedom, the creativity that they seem to embody.
Pick any instrument, any style, any musical situation, and one of those “naturals” is going to dive in with enthusiasm and fit right in.
Again:
It’s not about mastering your instrument.
- Ella Fitzgerald wowed the world with her “One Note Samba” – literally using just a single pitch. Did it take incredible vocal technique? No. It took an incredible understanding of rhythm and how to use it.
- Beethoven’s Fifth (“da da da duuuh”) is still remembered two centuries later. Did he require an in-depth mastery of any instrument to do that? No, he just needed an incredible understanding of what would work musically.
- And ask any harmonica player if Bob Dylan’s harmonica technique is any good – and you’ll get a strongly-worded “NO!” But his understanding of what to do with the harmonica to make compelling music? Well in that, he is truly world-class.
So:
If it’s not instrument technique that makes for a “natural” musician, what is it?
That instinctive grasp of what’s going on in music and how to participate, modify and conjure up music from scratch that we all crave.
The good news?
You can learn these new mental models – and they can be fast to put in place.
Once you put this new foundation in place, everything else comes quicker and easier than it ever could before.
And the even-better news? This isn’t about scrapping everything and starting again.
It’s about taking the time to fill in the foundation, so that all the skills you’ve already been working on finally “click” into place.
So what is that foundation?
What are the mental models that make you feel like a natural in music?
How can you develop the musical mind of a “natural” musician?
Well to answer that, let me share how I came to be asking exactly that question myself.
Just a few years ago...
“How is that musician so incredible?!”
I’d always hear people respond by saying simply:
“Oh, they’re Kodály trained.”
The first few times I heard something like that I was curious – but I didn’t really think much about it.
But it kept coming up. Over the years in my work on musicality training I kept hearing mentions of this approach that seemed to hold almost legendary status…
Hi, my name’s Christopher Sutton.
I’m the founder of Musical U, the leading provider of musicality training online.
And I have a confession to make…
You see, Musical U has now helped well over one million musicians worldwide to learn the “inner skills” of music. The skills that can enable you to play by ear, improvise, and express yourself freely in music.
But I discovered we were actually falling short of how much we could help people.
We were equipping people with tools and skills which helped them, yes.
But it was a bit like laying bricks or putting tiles on the roof – before you’d secured the foundation.
I had always assumed that since people came to us with the basics of instrument playing or music theory under their belt, we could take the foundation for granted…
But that stuff is not the foundation.
Sure, it’s presented as being the starting point, in pretty much every music lesson and course around the world – but it doesn’t actually equip musicians with the mental models they need to really succeed.
While we were able to help our students and members at Musical U – it always felt a bit like building on quicksand.
So eventually I decided that I had to find out what this Kodály thing was all about, because clearly it was deeply tied to this subject I was so passionate about: unlocking the “inner instinct” for music.
It turned out that this “Kodály method” was created in the early 20th Century in Hungary, where it quickly became the official music education method throughout the country and delivered amazing results for everyone who used it.
Its creator, Zoltán Kodály, was invited to America to lecture at Stanford and even had statues erected in his honour.
But, for reasons of politics and history, this method mostly stayed hidden away and never really broke into the mainstream…
I sought out one of the top instructors in the UK and took some private one-on-one lessons – and it was really interesting.
I remember in my first Kodály lesson, I found myself thinking “this is all very basic…”
Because I knew notation, I was comfortable singing, I’d done a lot of ear training.
And we were starting from the very beginning.
But in the course of that lesson I was given some new mental models for all those familiar concepts – and I came to realise this was a whole new way of approaching music.
By the end of that first lesson I’d done some impressive things with those simple concepts that were quite different from anything I’d been able to do before.
I came away thinking
“Oh, wow – this is actually really fundamental and powerful”.
It took me a while longer to click that this wasn’t just an alternative to what I knew already – in a lot of ways it was the missing foundation that all the other stuff should have been built on.
Later I went on a 3-day intensive course where I was surrounded by Kodály instructors and students.
And that was fascinating because I got to see the impact Kodály training has.
These people ranged from amateur musicians, to teachers, to professional musicians playing in national orchestras…
Now if you’ve ever been in situations where musicians get together to learn or perform you’ll know – there’s often a lot of competitiveness and one-upmanship. There’s a lot of insecurity on display.
But on that Kodály course the atmosphere was completely different to that.
These people all had an ease and delight in music.
The skills and viewpoint that Kodály training was equipping them with – it just let them enjoy music.
It was remarkable. And exciting.
And it wasn’t just an attitude – these people could do some seriously impressive things, in terms of collaborating, creating, playing by ear, singing, and more.
But what stood out most was that having the new mental models that Kodály training equipped them with let them feel a confidence and ownership in music that just made it all a joy.
Once I’d seen this I knew we had to somehow incorporate the Kodály approach into what we provide at Musical U.
Because although Kodály training is well-proven and extremely effective, it’s still mostly hidden away…
You can find instructors or courses for in-person training here and there.
But there was no convenient, affordable, instant-access way for people to get Kodály training.
So we started to adopt parts of the Kodály approach in our online training at Musical U…
And each new thing we borrowed from the world of Kodály quickly had a massive positive impact on how effective our training system was.
But there were some aspects of Kodály that we couldn’t just “bolt on” to our existing training.
So we decided to go “all in”.
To put together something brand new, based on Kodály principles, and designed specifically to deliver the firm foundation you need for your “musical mind”.
“How Fun! Made me feel like a kid again.”
– Bob G., Foundations course student
“Ok what magic is this?”
– Jean-Loup R., Foundations course student
Can you imagine having the kind of musical mind that can:
- Hear music and effortlessly recognise the notes and chords by ear.
- Glance at sheet music, tab or a chord chart and immediately hear in your head how it should sound.
- Spontaneously create your own original musical ideas as easily as breathing and share them with other musicians or an audience using your voice or your instrument.
- Just sit down and play for your own pleasure, relaxation and creative fulfilment.
-
Sit in on jam sessions or gigs with any group of musicians with no prior preparation required because you know you’ll have something solid to contribute.

CUSTOM JAVASCRIPT / HTML
This 6-week course provides day-by-day instruction and exercises which start from the very beginning and train you to:
- Recognise note pitches by ear
- Recognise rhythmic patterns by ear
- Write down the score notation for music you hear
- Sing or imagine music in your head directly from score notation
- Improvise your own musical ideas
Each week a new module uses specially-chosen songs to:
INTRODUCE
Learn the new musical material which will be used to teach this module’s concepts.
EXPLORE
Start to play around with the musical elements to get an instinctive feel for how they work.
DISCOVER
Clear explanations of the key concepts behind these musical elements, enabling you to establish your new mental models.
Go beyond the musical material used so far and see how these new ideas impact other music you know, including creating your own musical ideas.
PRACTICE
Independent exercises let you test your new knowledge, understanding and abilities.
“Great course. Easy to understand.”
– Alejandro C., Foundations course student
"Unexpectedly easy to follow, took less time than I expected and I learnt a lot and enjoyed it.”
– Aliki K., Foundations course student
- The course material is all provided at your convenience online and compatible with any modern internet device.
- Each module is broken into bite-sized chunks that make it easy to see your progress.
- It’s designed to require just 15 minutes per day, and the timing is flexible so that you can fit it around a busy schedule.
-
Drawing on the principles of the Kodály approach, Foundations of a Musical Mind provides song-based learning – meaning that all musical concepts and skills are taught through actual musical material. You learn a song, and from there you explore its various dimensions to acquire a deep understanding of how the music works.
-
It is also a multi-sensory approach, so that you learn to relate the notes your eyes see on the page, to the notes your ears hear, to the pitches and pulse you indicate with your hands, to the musical ideas you express with your voice. By approaching the same ideas from multiple angles it becomes much easier to internalise the new mental models and make them a core part of your personal understanding of music.

Music theory is finally fun for DJ, rapper and music producer Zac, who says the music is now flowing out of him more easily and naturally.
“I’ve never taken any other music course like it. Foundations teaches you musical concepts in a really clear way that allows you to internalize them.
It makes you understand musical patterns in different ways. You can think them, you can sing them, you can write them down, you can improvise with them, you can compose your own music.
Music starts flowing more naturally for you.“
Lifelong musician Charlie has a transformed relationship to all the music he plays, unlocking a whole new level of expression and interpretation in his performances.
“This is a way to look at music that you haven't looked at it before.
A way of getting back to the roots of music where you can fill in the gaps of your hearing, fill in the gaps of your melodic understanding, and bring yourself up to a better set of fundamentals in your musical life.”
Flutist, pianist, and singer Christine can now recognise patterns in the sounds and relationships between the notes, letting her easily hear the music in her mind when she looks at notation - and even work things out entirely by ear.
“So freeing!
It’s about being able to understand how music is put together at a very basic level, and how to know - either by listening to music or by reading it on the page - what that means, really at a deep musical level.”

Jamming is no longer a mystery for Steve, who had struggled when learning bass as an adult - but is now able to experience the music in a way that he never had before.
“This lets you stop worrying about all the theory and the technical chops… and actually be musical.
It’s brilliant.”
Retired music school teacher Ian found the course an “excellent” way to improve his own musicianship as well as helping his students - by revealing new ways to listen to and understand music intuitively.
“Whatever the skill it is that you want to pick up, you need to develop listening skills, you need to develop musicianship skills.
This is a structured method that makes more music accessible, even if it’s not something you thought you could handle. It’s a very empowering method that will even enable the learner to become better than the teacher.”

With An Ear For Keys you get a 65-minute video walkthrough showing you specific techniques and processes you can use to quickly and easily identify the key of any song or piece of music by ear.

BONUS 3:
The Slowdown Shortcut
One of the biggest challenges in applying musicality skills is that often our new abilities work fine with slow, artificial, one-note-at-a-time examples – but “real” music or actual musical situations require us to respond much faster.
To bridge this gap and get your skills up to speed it can be helpful to practice with real music – but slowed down.
With this bonus 1+ hour of training you’ll be shown in detail how to use three free software tools to slow down any music you want to practice with, so that it matches your current skill speed.

LIVE Drop-In Sessions
Twice Weekly!
It can be frustrating when you hit a sticking point in your music learning... Sometimes you just want to play something and get feedback, or discuss things person-to-person with someone who knows their stuff.
That's why twice a week we run live "Drop-In" sessions for Musical U students: very informal group video calls with zero pressure, all questions welcome.
When you buy Foundations of a Musical Mind today you'll get access to these calls for as long as you need. That means live, personal, face-to-face help - available to you twice a week, every week, for any help you might need with the course.

Imagine how your musical life would be transformed if you had the kind of musical mind that you always thought required “talent”.
- No more confusion and frustration in your music learning.
- No more feeling overwhelmed, or like you’re just wasting your time.
- No more painful struggling to learn things that deep down you know should be as easy and natural as music itself.
- Instead imagine having the musical mind that just instinctively understands every note, rhythm and chord you hear.
- Imagine having the musical mind that lets you confidently and intuitively collaborate with other musicians in any situation.
- Imagine having the musical mind that makes all your musical activities (and even music practice and learning) simply a joy.
In just 6 weeks, for the price of a cup of coffee per day, that musical mind can be yours.

Frequently-Asked Questions
Q: When does the course begin? Is it flexible?
Q: What happens at the end of the course, can I keep the material?
Yes. You’ll have access to the web material even after the 6 weeks are over, for as long as you need.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes, absolutely. We’ll be starting from the absolute fundamentals, and the course will have valuable material both for those who are totally new to music learning (or just to musicality training) for and those who’ve been learning for a while.
Q: Do I need to know music theory?
No. This course is designed to teach you all the essential concepts from scratch.
In fact, this is how “music theory” should be.
There’s not going to be tons of arcane terminology and classical music theories you’ll never need to know or use.
Instead you’ll learn the fundamental concepts that will benefit you every day in your musical life.
Q: What if I can’t sing?
The course does use songs as teaching material and singing as a core tool for developing your musical understanding.
But you do not need to be a “good” singer!
The only singing skill you need is the ability to match pitch and the “Singing 101” bonus included in this offer will quickly teach you that skill – even if you’ve always thought you were “tone deaf” :)
“A brilliant programme – really well designed and presented with a very manageable pace.
Like a number of others my only regret is that I did not come upon the course six years ago when I started to learn/play music.”
– Brendan F., Foundations course student
