We call it \u201cFoundations of a Musical Mind\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Now if you\u2019ve been following our website or podcast for a while you\u2019ll know that at Musical U we actually aren\u2019t big fans of the course structure for learning musicality &#8211; for the general case of becoming more musical, a one-size-fits-all course just isn\u2019t the best option. But rather than try to incorporate Kod\u00e1ly ideas piecemeal into our main training system we realised that because we were going to be starting from absolute zero with this new training, actually the course approach could work really well.<\/p>\n<p>Because whatever background musicians are coming in with &#8211; whether they\u2019re just starting out or have been playing for years, whether they\u2019re a singer, guitarist, saxophonist, or anything else, whether they like blues, rock, classical, jazz &#8211; and whether they\u2019re mostly driven by wanting to play by ear, improvise, write their own music, or just have a deeper and more instinctive understanding of how the music they love is put together &#8211; this course genuinely could help each and every one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Easy to say! Not so easy to do. But knowing it would be a challenge we were able to draw on Anne\u2019s expertise and our extensive experience helping adult musicians learn musicality skills online, and based on the results and comments from our first group of students who went through the course last year we actually managed to pull it off. I\u2019ll be sharing some of those comments alongside this video so you can see for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>As always at Musical U we put a big emphasis on personal support and guidance and that meant that we were able to learn from this first group\u2019s experiences to fix, improve, refine and extend the course as they went through it. So it\u2019s now even better than it was to begin with and I\u2019m super excited to be opening up enrolment now for a new class.<\/p>\n<p>Now one big advantage of the \u201ccourse\u201d approach is that it\u2019s very clearly structured and time-bound. This is a 6-week course, designed to take about 15 minutes per day. And we know now that it does indeed deliver on that. Some people took a bit longer each day, others zipped through it, but we saw that on average it does take about that long, so it\u2019s not a massive time commitment to get real results. And by the end of the 6 weeks you\u2019ll have gained some really quite impressive skills in identifying notes and rhythms by ear and actually doing all kinds of interesting things with those skills.<\/p>\n<p>One potential downside of the course approach is that instead of a small monthly fee like we charge for Musical U membership, it does mean putting down a single payment for all the training and that\u2019s inevitably going to be a higher price.<\/p>\n<p>And of course we do provide a really generous guarantee policy, so that if for any reason it didn\u2019t deliver all these wonderful results for you, you can get all your money back. I wanted to make sure it was risk-free for you to make this investment in your musical life.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m really proud of the price we\u2019ve managed to hit with this &#8211; because compared to the in-person Kod\u00e1ly training you can get it\u2019s an insane bargain.<\/p>\n<p>And when you look at the impact it can have on your musical life (and the impact it\u2019s already had on all the musicians who\u2019ve gone through it so far) &#8211; it\u2019s really hard to put a value on that.<\/p>\n<p>You *could* just go on, feeling like learning music is a struggle. Like music theory and ear training never quite connect up with the music you know and love. Continuing to learn pieces note-by-note and feeling anxious about forgetting them, or needing to perform without sheet music in front of you. Feeling like you\u2019re just not a \u201cnatural\u201d and don\u2019t have what it takes to feel free, confident and creative in music.<\/p>\n<p>Or you could put in place a new foundation for understanding music, deeply and intuitively. You could experience, for possibly the first time, true freedom and creativity in improvising or coming up with your own musical ideas. You could hear music &#8211; and immediately know the notes and rhythms being used, and connect that all with sheet music or playing your instrument.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s something that\u2019s going to transform the whole of your musical life for the rest of your life. What would that be worth to you?<\/p>\n<p>Now let me ask you something: As I say these things, is there a little voice in the back of your head going \u201cYeah *maybe*. But I don\u2019t know if it\u2019ll really work like that for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m personally a bit of a skeptic. If someone promises amazing results with a product or service I\u2019m going to have my doubts.<\/p>\n<p>But I hope you know from our brand and from the Musicality Unleashed series, that we are not about false promises of overnight success, or selling people on myths and pipedreams that get them excited but fail to deliver real results.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re about the methods that really work. The proven systems and training material that can genuinely transform a musician\u2019s experience of music.<\/p>\n<p>So when we saw that the Foundations course was indeed providing the kind of transformative experiences it was designed to, we sat down with a handful of course students to ask them how it had gone. So that you could hear from real music learners, just like you, that this stuff really does work.<\/p>\n<p>So please check those out &#8211; so that you can allow yourself to get excited about this and believe in the transformation that\u2019s ahead of you.<\/p>\n<p>Because if you love music &#8211; and if you have ever felt limited, restricted, or you\u2019ve struggled in your learning &#8211; and if you\u2019ve itched for that freedom, creativity, confidence, that deep instinctive understanding of how music works &#8211; then it really is a seriously exciting opportunity that\u2019s in front of you right now.<\/p>\n<p>Now because of the personal support we\u2019re offering to make sure this course really delivers results for you, places are limited. And enrolment is open for just a short period. Like I said before, this course quickly sold out the first time it was offered, so if you\u2019re interested then please act fast to secure your spot.<\/p>\n<p>And I look forward to seeing you in there!<\/p>\n<div class='podcast_subscribe_buttons'><p class='subscribe_cta'>Subscribe For Future Episodes!<\/p>\n    <div class='buttons'><a href='http:\/\/musicalitynow.com\/subscribeitunes' target='_blank' class='label' onclick='logPodSubscribe(\"apple\");'><i class='fa fa-apple' aria-hidden='true'><\/i> Apple Podcasts<\/a><span class='separator'> | <\/span><a href='http:\/\/musicalitynow.com\/subscribeandroid' target='_blank' class='label' onclick='logPodSubscribe(\"android\");'><i class='fa fa-android' aria-hidden='true'><\/i> Android<\/a><span class='separator'> | <\/span><a href='http:\/\/musicalitynow.com\/subscribeyoutube' target='_blank' class='label' onclick='logPodSubscribe(\"youtube\");'><i class='fa fa-youtube' aria-hidden='true'><\/i> YouTube<\/a><span class='separator'> | <\/span><a href='http:\/\/musicalitynow.com\/subscribegplay' target='_blank' class='label' onclick='logPodSubscribe(\"gplay\");'><i class='fa fa-google' aria-hidden='true'><\/i> Google Play<\/a><span class='separator'> | <\/span><a href='http:\/\/musicalitynow.com\/subscribestitcher' target='_blank' class='label' onclick='logPodSubscribe(\"stitcher\");'><img src='https:\/\/www.musical-u.com\/wp-content\/themes\/Divi-MU\/img\/Stitcher-icon.png' alt='Stitcher' class='podcast_icon'>Stitcher<\/a><span class='separator'> | <\/span><a href='http:\/\/musicalitynow.com\/subscriberss' target='_blank' class='label' onclick='logPodSubscribe(\"rss\");'><i class='fa fa-rss' aria-hidden='true'><\/i> RSS<\/a><\/div>\n    <p class='review_cta'>Enjoying the show?
