How They Make Music
The skills and understanding your favorite artists rely upon are what most music education does not provide.
Your favorite artists recognize that music is, first and foremost, a language, but one that is quite simple to learn.
They grasp that their ability to express themselves on their instrument is inextricably connected to how well they understand this language.
The instruction in this site will help you acquire the essentials of this language - with your ear, with your mind, and with your hands - and allow you to participate in a tradition that is meaningful, rewarding and lots of fun!
