Through more solfège exercises, and an increased focus on composition and improvising, you'll immerse yourself in the nuances of these new chords and harmonies. You’ll explore how they function and resolve within various musical settings.

By this point, you'll begin to see deeper, tangible progress in your ear training. You'll notice a significant improvement in your ability to hear and identify these chords quickly and accurately.

Transcription

Many musicians equate the term “dictation” or “transcription” with dread and fear, and rightfully so! It’s often presented in a way that doesn’t help you improve your listening.

In Week 3, we dive into techniques that teach you how to write down what you hear on any recording — with absolute certainty — and without your instrument. Imagine mastering the art of learning music by ear and retaining it forever. Through guided exercises, repeated listening, and step-by-step breakdowns, you'll gain the skills needed to transcribe complex solos and melodies with ease.

Based on Research and Real-Life Experience

Many ear-training books focus on decontextualized skills that simply do not work. The teaching in this book isn't just made up — it's based on nearly 25 years of practice, 20 years of study with world-renowned ear training researchers and pedagogues, and my career as both a performer and university lecturer. Cut through the clutter and trust a resource that continues to deliver results for over 1,000 musicians.


Zero-Risk

At $27 for four weeks of guided content, there is no risk in taking a chance on it. In fact, the true risk lies in doing nothing. The true risk lies in waiting for change without taking steps toward it. I've curated what I believe to be the best ear training experience on the market, so you don't have to spin your wheels anymore.

Trust me — this is your moment… and I'm here to guide you to that next stage of your musical career.
