Experience the Method (Short Sample)

How It Works: The book consists of rhythm tracks to play over. For each pattern, you will use your ear to play the specific pattern by ear starting on the first note given to you. The patterns start easy with two then three ascending whole steps-then gets progressively more difficult with longer patterns with wider intervals. I promise this will open your ears beyond what you think possible.

Try It Yourself:

  • 1 Step 1: Hit play and listen to the first three-note pattern played (three whole steps up). Look at the notation for the first three patterns if needed.
  • 2 Step 2: Listen to the next note (or read it on the pattern notation if necessary), sing it or find it on your instrument, then play or sing the three whole notes up starting on that note.

Continue starting on each single note the track provides. Use your ears—not your eyes—to play the phrases by ear. The rhythmic notation gives you every first note and guides you rhythmically, not melodically.
