Foundations of Reading Music

Start from zero: the stave and clefs, letter names, note values, rests and ties, the bass clef, accidentals, five-finger practice, major scales with both hands and fingering, triads, block and broken chords and arpeggios — with full theory and musical terms — reaching an intermediate standard.

Includes play-along & sing-along backing tracks in every course, with tempo & key control, a live score and record-yourself feedback from Jason.

Six lessons: upper extensions round the Cycle of Fifths, rootless voicings, drop 2 chords, diminished scales and gospel diminished movements, modes and alternate scales, and improvising with intention.
