We’re Looking For A Few “Dream Students”...
Who We Can Take By The Hand And Lead Step By Step,
To BREAK Through To Their Next Level
And Become The “Complete” Musician
Who Can Do It All.
What if you could step into any musical situation at any time...
... and just play.
With total confidence that what you express will feel great and sound fantastic.
Knowing that the music will flow naturally and effortlessly from deep inside you.
The instinctive expression of your own innate and personal connection to music itself.
You might call that “being a natural”...
“Having talent”...
“Being blessed”...
Or “having a gift for music”.
Here at Musical U we call it being “Musical Inside And Out”.
When you think about it, you’ve broken through to that “next level” before...
“Wow, that was really something.”
“Without that, I wouldn’t be who I am today”
“I am so, so glad that I took the plunge and went for it.”
Over the last 14 years here at MU we’ve led tens of thousands of musicians through a continual stream of breakthroughs like:
- Going from “tone deaf” - to singing confidently and accurately in tune.
- Being forever trapped on the sheet music - to flying free, playing entirely by ear.
- Feeling utterly un-creative - to improvising on-the-fly like a pro.
-
Being stuck as a “bedroom dabbler” - to playing out, and having the crowd love it.
-
Stalled on long-standing plateaus - to playing masterpieces, flawlessly at full speed.
-
Struggling away on one instrument - to delighting in easily playing several.
Something that could never be delivered by a fixed course or program…
But could by a world-class musicality expert, by your side 24/7, continually tailoring a bespoke program to exactly fit you every step of the way.
We started dreaming about something brand new…
See...
We’re pretty proud* of what we’ve accomplished so far, with our membership, training courses and the flagship Living Music program…
(* that’s British for “really freaking proud!”)
Because we hear from students every single day that they’re now accomplishing things they’d only ever dreamed of before.
Here are a handful of examples from literally just the past two weeks:
“I’m getting better with finding chords by ear! The more I understand how everything works, the easier it is to learn more and progress!”
- Scott B.
“After 50 years, I have learned to read and play music proficiently on clarinet, saxophone, guitar, bass, piano. Yet in all that time, what has eluded me is the ability to really hear what I am reading before playing it. This [new approach at Musical U] has really made a difference. I only wish I had been taught this 50 years ago.”
- Paul K.
“I was pleased with my improv over the jazzy backing track this week. To my amazement, it actually sounded like music. Didn’t think that at this stage that I would have been able to do that!”
- James K.
“I used to be convinced that I couldn’t sing. In the last few years I have learnt I can match pitch (more often than not) so I am confident that with Musical U I shall learn to be a competent singer.”
- Chas F.
“This opens a whole new world and way of looking at music. I feel like there are so many new things I’ve never been taught. This is a fun and amazing way to learn.”
- Ann P.
“The great thing about this for me was that it simplified the whole concept of improvising. I think I was always daunted by all the possible choices of notes and everything else. [This] makes it manageable, like, Okay, I can do this!”
- Lynne G.
“This is opening my ears to all new and much deeper appreciation of music.”
- Michael B.
“This is the beginning of some SERIOUS growth.”
- David C.
A Coach.
Introducing...
The Next Level program is based on our proven “H4” model of Complete Musicality:
This is our most fundamental framework which breaks down what it takes to be a musician who can “do it all”, and feel truly “Musical Inside And Out”.
ANY time you see an incredible musician...
The kind everyone calls “natural” or “talented”...
They’ve worked to develop all four of these areas in depth…
… while the average hobbyist focuses only on one, perhaps two of them.
When you develop all four components…
AND you integrate them together in the way we’ve mastered here at Musical U...
It delivers the shortest path to the greatest transformation in the least amount of time.
HEARING
Even if right now you’re “tone deaf” and “can’t carry a tune”, we’ll coach you through to having “golden ears” that are the envy of every musician around you.
Imagine being able to effortlessly absorb and understand every intricate detail of every piece of music you hear...
Automatically recognising notes, chords, rhythms and more...
So that it’s like you have the perfect “autotranscriber” in your head...
And can directly play by ear anything you hear, remember or imagine.
This goes way beyond any traditional “ear training” or “music appreciation”.
We're talking about waking up your ears and connecting them with your Head, Hands and Heart to empower you to act on everything you hear. So you can express yourself more deeply and fully.
HANDS
HEAD
There’s nothing like the confidence that comes from truly knowing and deeply understanding a subject. Inside-out and back-to-front.
Yet when it comes to music...
The traditional “theory” approaches leave most learners high and dry, feeling more baffled than masterful.
The two biggest problems with traditional theory books and courses are:
#1: They try to teach you all the “theory you should know” instead of starting from “what theory is most relevant to your actual musical life”...
And then
#2: It gets taught in a dry, abstract way.
At Musical U we’ve always chosen to integrate “learning the theory” into the actual musical activities you’re doing instead of it being a separate task.
This brings it to life in an exciting and accessible way.
With one-to-one coaching it can be taken even further, all 100% adapted to suit you, your interests and your actual needs.
The result for you is a deep intuitive understanding of how everything in music fits together, and all of the facts and structures that underpin the music your Hearing, Hands and Heart are busy delighting in.
HEART
The most often-overlooked and yet the most vital of the four components.
What brings us to music and keeps us devoted to it is the emotion we feel, the experiences of music and the connection music can bring. To ourselves, to our world, and to our loved ones... and even strangers.
The emotional, psychological, even spiritual side of being a musician simply cannot be discounted.
That’s why “feel it first” is one of the most powerful suggestions a teacher or coach can make - whether they’re speaking to a complete beginner or a world-class legendary performer.
When you give Heart the care and attention it’s due, you’ll be amazed how it unlocks whole new powers for your Head, Hearing and Hands.
Throughout everything you do.
When you develop all four components - the Hearing, Hands, Head, and Heart - it produces exactly the holistic improvement needed to become a “complete” musician:
The kind of musician who can step into any musical situation with ease and confidence, and enthrall the audience with their seemingly-natural virtuosic musicality.
That’s why if you’re selected for the Next Level coaching program, we’ll begin by assessing with you where you’re at right now in each of those 4 areas.
And we’ll explore and define the goals and aspirations you have for each.
Then week by week we’ll design and deliver a bespoke, tailor-made training experience to level you up in each area…
In an integrated, holistic way…
Which lets progress in each one feed into the others in a beautiful synergy…
Ensuring the results you get far exceed the amount of effort you put in.
What does that look like in concrete terms?
Imagine your coach as a combination of guide, teacher and concierge.
Expertly serving you up exactly the right next steps at exactly the right time.
Cherry-picking just what’s most suited to you, and making sure there’s no frustration or wasted time from making you repeat things or trying to leap too far ahead.
All tailored to your available time and your personal passion for music (more on that in a minute…)
But that’s just the start.
Your coach will also be using new as-yet-unreleased material…
And having the team create all-new resources made just for you.
On top of that we’ll be drawing on our worldwide network of the greatest modern musicality masters to regularly give you the opportunity to work with a guest coach who we bring in to share their particular expertise exclusively with our Next Level clients.
Oh - and we’re adopting a new best-of-breed technology platform to deliver Next Level coaching, ensuring the most direct, intimate, private and personal connection to your coach possible.
So whether you’re just starting out with musicality training or you’ve been learning at Musical U for years, your coach will be able to lay out the optimal path to get you to your “next level” fast.
The bottom line is that as the leading provider of musicality training online, we’re building the Next Level coaching program specifically to offer the absolute epitome of what’s possible.
Now everything described above is already a program that would instantly put you head-and-shoulders above anything else out there…
But we’re building Next Level coaching around something new and really exciting…
Which leverages all our experience…
And keeps us right on the very cutting edge of what’s possible today…
It’s a brand-new methodology we’re calling Passion-Based Learning™.
It’s designed to keep your inner flame burning BRIGHT.
And in simple terms what it means is this:
You bring your coach what you’re most passionate about in music.
It might be certain songs or pieces…
Particular artists or the genres you love…
Your own dream setlist…
… or whatever esoteric musical phenomenon has recently piqued your musical interest and sparked excitement in you about music.
And your coach will use that as the basis for developing your H4 musicality.
For example: if you’re totally hooked on a new song then bring it along, and your coach will guide you through using that song to develop your ability to hear every detail and nuance, play by ear, improvise, write music and arrange, perform, sing, jam and more.
With this new approach, you’ll be unstoppable.
Because as long as you still LOVE music, your coach is going to make sure you also LOVE your musical training.
Week after week, without fail.
Our ultimate goal is to get you to your own personal “next level”, delivering a permanent transformation that you’ll benefit from every day of your musical life, forever more.
One more thing: although the coaching is a private, personal, 1-to-1 experience, you won’t be alone in this.
If accepted to the program, you'll be part of an exclusive private group with the other Next Level clients.
With a dedicated messaging and discussion platform, separate from the regular Musical U members site, to allow intimate connection with your fellow Next Level musicians.
And we’ll be hosting regular group calls for you to share learning and foster the exciting collaboration opportunities we know will emerge naturally as your natural musicality fizzes and sparks into new life.

Important Note: This is not for everyone.
In fact the total number of musicians in the Next Level program is capped.
At Musical U we’ve always taken a stand against music snobbery and the elitism of traditional conservatories and music schools. It’s codified plainly in our Universal Potential pillar belief.
And due to the bespoke, personal nature of the the coaching, we’re able to make this opportunity available to anyone, regardless of your current skill level or “natural abilities”…
So there’s no "audition" to get in.
But there is an application.
Because we want to make sure that the people who get spots on this exclusive program are those who will truly value it, and show up ready to get maximum value and see maximum results - as well as bringing something special of their own to the Next Level group.
So if you are any of the following, please do not apply:
- Fixated solely on performing repertoire as written, disinterested in bringing your own creative musical instinct to life.
- Unwilling to invest time or money in reaching your true musical potential.
-
Uncoachable, certain that you can “figure it out yourself” or that you’re naturally limited to the skills and abilities you were born with (a.k.a. “fixed mindset” instead of a “growth mindset”)
- Unfriendly or negative in attitude. Introverts are welcome! But you must show up willing to participate.
With that being said, if you are passionate about music…
If you’ve already shown your devotion by investing time and money in your musical growth…
And if you’re excited about getting a next-level experience to help you reach the highest peak of your natural musicality…

If you’re reading this now, then three things are true:
①
You are passionate about the music you love…
②
You’ve had some success developing yourself as a musician so far.
But…
③
You know deep down you are capable of so much more.
And you know you’d be willing to invest more in your musical growth…
You would be eager to, delighted to, even…
IF you knew that not one precious minute or cent would be wasted.
Imagine how it could be…
No more chasing down dead ends.
No more scrambling to piece explanations or new abilities together yourself.
No more second-guessing or questioning “am I doing this right?” or “Will I ever get the hang of this?”
As Bob Marley sang:
“Don’t worry… about a thing.”
Because from now on, your coach will have you covered.
Just think - a few months from now, you could be stepping forwards, ready to play in a way you never dreamed you’d be able to.
Feeling those butterflies of excitement instead of the nervous dread you used to feel.
Ready to catch the audience’s attention and hold it, keeping them as enthralled in your music-making as you are yourself.
Connecting with your instrument, yourself, your audience, and the deep natural spirit of music inside you.
And feeling fulfilled in a way you never have before, knowing “this is it”.
You’ve made it.
Finally, after all those years of struggle, you’ve made it.
And nothing will ever be the same again.
That “next level” experience can be yours - but only if you take action.
None of it will happen unless you demonstrate that you’re ready for more.
When you apply today, there’s no commitment and no obligation.
It’s just your way of saying “maybe”.
“Maybe this could be it.”
And showing you’re open to that simple “what if…” that could change everything for you.
So apply now and get ready to break through to your next level in music:
Reminder: This program is capped and a limited number of places are currently available.
So don’t delay. Apply now.
