Absolutely yes, the course is specifically designed for people who are starting out with zero skills. This course is based on a gradual step by step path, and it will work amazingly well, independently from your current level.

Thanks to this step-by-step path, every student will be able to start out with exercises that are adequate for their current level (even if they're starting from scratch). This will allow students to see consistent results over time, without feeling stuck or frustrated.

We suggest you take a look at the testimonials available just above this section. You can find many students sharing their experiences, some of which were complete beginners before subscribing to the course.

Almost all students see noticeable results in a matter of 1 or 2 weeks from the start of their consistent practice (for 30 minutes a day, at least). Of course, you need to accurately apply the suggested approaches and thought processes when practicing, otherwise that can seriously undermine the efficiency of your practicing routine.

To start out with the course you just need to know what a major scale is, what a major and a minor chord is, and the notes used in western music (A B C D E F G).

This is very basic music theory background that can easily be learned for free, by looking it up on the internet.

Well, this course is based on very serious scientific foundations, as you've seen in our workshop, and, as you can see, this page includes a lot of real comments and videos from people that found this course really helpful, right?

This doesn't happen by chance. This happens because our step-by-step method allows you to practice the exercises that are 100% tailored to your current level. Plus, our method is based on exercises that take into account how we actually perceive musical pitch.

The problem with most ear training courses or apps out there is they are based on traditional methods that you now know have serious flaws.

As we’ve seen, traditional methods unintentionally start with exercises that are far too difficult for the average ear training student. It is likely that this is the main cause of your struggle and frustration. So make peace with yourself, this lack of results doesn't have anything to do with you not having talent, or not being smart enough.

Our course has proven to be tremendously effective for thousands of musicians who struggled with traditional methods in the past, exactly like you did. We're confident that this course will totally transform your skills and help you be the musician you truly dream to be. So don't wait to sign up right now.

There is a big difference between “Solfege”, “Functional Ear Training” and UseYourEar.

In a few words, neither “Solfege” nor “Functional ear training” can be considered a method:

• “Solfege” is just a nomenclature system, it only gives you indications for how to name notes in relation to a tonal center. It doesn’t include any specific exercises and doesn’t clarify at all how you should think when practicing.
• On the other hand “Functional Ear Training” is just a very limited basic exercise that will only train a super-specific component of your melodic recognition skills. The issue is that this exercise doesn’t recreate “real melodies” in realistic conditions, so, in the end, most musicians become good at the exercise but are still unable to recognize real melodies. They still miss some crucial components.

To recap everything, here are the 3 main reasons why both Solfege and Functional Ear Training can’t be considered comprehensive methods:

1. They don't give you a clear step-by-step process and action plan to follow, in order to get the results.

   They don’t explain you how to think, what to practice, when to practice it, how to practice it, why to practice it and what results to expect from it.

2. They leave out multiple components that are crucial to recognize real music, in real time.

3. They don’t take into account chord progressions at all.

On the other hand, the UseYourEar method is a comprehensive step-by-step method. It will allow you to understand exactly what to practice, when to practice it, how to practice it, why to practice it and what results to expect from it.

It includes a very clear step-by-step path that will allow you to gradually develop advanced skills, no matter your current level.

Moreover, UseYourEar takes into account all the components of our relative pitch skills as well as the fundamental work on chord progressions. Which is indeed a very important aspect of ear training and it’s totally crucial for developing skills like improvisation, intonation, musical memory, etc.

Lastly, UseYourEar is entirely based on rigorous scientific foundations. The scientific background, combined with the experience gained after working with hundreds of students 1 on 1, gave us an in-depth understanding of how we perceive musical pitch. This allows us to explain to you the exact mental process you should adopt for each ear training task. Indeed, our course includes very detailed action-steps that allow you to understand exactly how to think, what to focus on, etc. but most importantly it allows you to clearly understand what you shouldn’t do and why. This level of accuracy and detail is totally exclusive to our program and it’s one of the main reasons why our method is so effective for all kinds of musicians. Without this level of clarity it’s very easy to fall victim of inefficient thought processes and get stuck somewhere.
