Here is an approach to improving
your musicianship that will make you a better musician. The course
includes Modern Harmony, Sight-singing, Dictation, Notation, and
Keyboard Harmony. If you are frustrated with your ability to hear
melody, rhythm, and harmony, and if you feel your musical foundation
is lacking because your are self-taught or your education hasn't
explained how it all works, then this series is for you. It gets
results for both relative beginners to graduates of music schools.
How well you hear and how well you know what you are hearing is
the secret.
The course is comprised of twelve chapters,
each of which contains a textbook, assignment book, answer book,
CD, and video classes taught personally by Dick Grove. It is like
taking private lessons with Dick Grove, but you have the advantage
of working at your own pace, at home , with your own schedule.
The course is the result of twenty
years of development at the famous Grove School of Music, and
it incorporates the techniques and approaches that have helped
thousands to realize their musical potential. We condition your
ear to be an 'educated ear' that can hear what it sees, and identify
what it hears. You'll be able to play musically and notate what
you hear in your head.
The only prerequisite for this course
is a simple and basic understanding of musical notation. From
this point the course takes you step-by-step through a developing
process that really gets results. We even offer a free Beginning
Reading Kit if you are not familiar with basic notation. This
course is invaluable for instrumentalists, songwriters, arrangers
and composers. For the trained musician it gives you a different
practical insight that fills in the blanks. It is a comprehensive
approach not taught anywhere, at any school, nor offered by any
music publisher. If you teach music it makes you a better teacher.
