Music Dark Ages: Why We're In It and What You Need To Get Out

Описание: This video looks at how music lessons actually function in our culture and compares it to how we like to think they function. Music students will learn necessary activities for learning they should have in their lessons. Music teachers will learn a new framework for creating their own lessons. And everyone will leave with ideas for creating a more musical culture that’s inclusive, loving, and sustainable.

I have some resources on my website you may be interested in. For a complete lesson on Audiation, as well as a great video on Piano Technique, consider taking a look at my Music Essentials course. It’s an absolute bargain.

I also offer a piano course called the Genesis course that you may want to consider NOT buying. The pacing isn’t great, and I’m planning an expanded and improved version. On the other hand, that new course won’t be available for 6 months to a year, and it’ll be more expensive. And the current Genesis Course, as far as I know, is the first and only online piano course that uses singing to learn harmonic function, and prioritizes audiation and improvisation to realize what you're hearing in your mind and voice on the piano. And it’s as inexpensive now as it’s ever going to be, as it’s being sunsetted to make room for the upcoming comprehensive course. So you might want to consider ACTUALLY buying it.

Keep an eye on https://mymusicgenesis.com for more information in the coming months, and to check out the Genesis Course and the Music Essentials course right now.
