Recommended Training Sequence for Musicians

Develop a Comprehensive Skillset

I’m writing to tell you about a massive discount on the Flawless Course (details at the end of this post) and to introduce an exciting new course. I also want to take a moment to explain all of our different course offerings, as there is a logic that may not be very clear from the outset.

Introducing “The Staff Speaks: Reading and Hearing Music’s Legacy: Staff System, Notes, and Pitch”

This course is now in session, and you can purchase the accompanying book exclusively on Amazon.com. Additionally, there is a comprehensive course that complements this book perfectly.

In this course, you’ll receive daily exercises that take less than 8 minutes to complete. These exercises are designed to train your brain to start hearing and writing music. While we begin with the basics, these materials are not just for beginners. They are structured to benefit musicians at all levels.

What You’ll Learn:

• The Staff and Clefs: Learn about the staff, lines, spaces, and different clefs.

• Ledger Lines and Positions: Master the use of ledger lines to extend the staff system.

• Pitch and Frequency: Explore the nature of pitch, intervals, and tuning systems.

• Advanced Note-Naming Conventions: Understand accidentals, enharmonics, and C clefs.

Advanced Musicians, This is for You Too

Even advanced musicians have something to gain from this course:

• Listen to music differently: Start hearing deep inside music with simple exercises that teach you how to hear notes in relationship to each other.

• Understand the difference between notation software and real-life performances: Learn why the music you write sounds different when you play it in a notation program versus real-life performances. Hint: It does not have to do with the sampled sounds used.

• Build a strong foundation: Slowly build a strong foundation with simple exercises that take 10 minutes per day. Even if you are advanced, you will learn something from this book.

• Gain an edge: The most successful people will pay large amounts of money to learn just one thing that gives them an edge. This book is designed to help you improve, and it supports the Flawless Ear Training Course.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Course

• Comprehensive Learning: Each chapter builds on the previous one, providing a solid foundation for understanding music theory and aural training.

• Expert Insights: Drawing from nearly a decade of experience teaching undergraduate and graduate-level music theory, composition, and aural training, this book offers valuable insights for all music enthusiasts.

• Practical Exercises: Engage with practical exercises that will enhance your understanding and application of music theory concepts.

Limited Time Offer on Flawless Ear Training

Until September 13, you’ll be able to get the Flawless Ear Training along with any updates that come with it over the years for $9.99. This offer is only available through Udemy, and they offer a Lifetime Access promise.

I won’t be offering a deal like this again, as it is only offered during the initial launch of the course on Udemy. (However, they may offer discounts now and then, but those are outside of my control.)

I’m Confused, Should I Start with The Staff Speaks or Flawless Ear Training?

Both! All of the courses I create are designed to work together.

• The Staff Speaks gives you the music theory part of the puzzle, and it trains theory in a practical way where you simply sit back and listen to exercises that train both your theory and aural (ear training) skills.

• Flawless Ear Training offers the in-depth training to develop a masterful ear. It goes beyond just using ear training to teach theory. It opens your ears in a very comprehensive and systematic manner.

• Other Courses: Audiation, Counterpoint, and Form all lead into each other. They build upon the audiation skills present in the Flawless course, and they help you to continue your musical journey.

• There is even a Daily Musicianship Training course that allows you to maintain your ear once you complete the course. This training uses one simple exercise (that you have to be trained to use properly), which will allow you to maintain your skills without having to access any resources. You can untether yourself from your computer or phone and stay active. (Not yet available on UreMusic.com)

Thank you again for all of your support, and I look forward to providing you with new and exciting ways to enhance your technique. Even if you don’t use my products and services, I hope that this structure helps you design your own daily routine for becoming the best musician you can be.
