Between our phone bills and streaming services, we have enough subscriptions in our lives.  This series is a one-time purchase, and will live here on this website for as long as you want to come back to it, so you can learn at your own pace.

Relying on tabs, tutorials, and sheet music will never substitute the core elements of musicianship: a well-trained ear that recognizes melody, harmony, and rhythm, and a holistic way to think about and understand the music of today, the music you love.

Broken into three courses with ten episodes each, these modules add concrete steps to your musicianship journey to help you measure your growth in the areas that matter.

Each Module consists of ten episodes each from 10-40 minutes in length, packed to the brim with years of practical insight and original research, and also include the following:

  • popular musical examples,
  • visual aids,
  • insightful demonstrations,
  • challenging exercises,
  • members-only forums for communal learning and direct help from Warren.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

Why these Modules?

The Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm Modules can take you where tabs, tutorials, and sheet music can’t.

Do you want to write your own music, play by ear, improvise, or better understand music? Do you want to grow as a musician, to go beyond searching Ultimate Guitar, YouTube, or Musescore?

While it’s true that tabs, tutorials, and sheet music help us learn single songs, they offer no benefit beyond that limited scope. Tabs don’t include rhythm. Tutorials are musical paint-by-numbers. Sheet music assumes literacy and fluency in a culturally-loaded and culturally-specific form of transcription known as “standard notation.”

Relying on tabs, tutorials, and sheet music cannot replace the core elements of musicianship: a well-trained ear that recognizes melody, harmony, and rhythm, and a holistic way to think about and understand the music of today, the music you love.

Broken into three modules with ten episodes each, your musicianship journey will have concrete steps to help you measure your growth in the areas that matter: recognizing and understanding melody, harmony, and rhythm for yourself.

Learn privately, affordably, and at your own pace.

Do private teachers’ prices make formal instruction feel out of reach? Does learning on your own time appeal to you?

For most people, private lessons are a luxury. But even when a great teacher is within reach, schedules and distance can still present obstacles.

The Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm Modules are priced affordably (about the cost of two private lessons) and always accessible.

Receive insightful instruction through hearing, seeing, and learning in community.

Learn to listen, understand, and transcribe music in a way that works for today’s music.

How is this video series different from picking up a book about music theory, going to a class, or visiting a website?

This innovative self-teaching approach introduces a proprietary grid system which integrates Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm in one beautifully simple format you can pick up and use instantly. You won’t find it anywhere else.

Avoiding the most common stumbling blocks associated with standard notation — staff and ledger lines, note heads and stems, key and time signatures — the grid supports fluency in relative pitch, chord analysis, and beat-awareness in an fresh, powerful, and intuitive approach to learning and transcription.

In simpler terms… you’ll learn how to think about music in a way that works for today’s music.

Invest in your own musicianship.

These Modules — combined with this innovative grid system and the access members receive — will open doors that tabs, tutorials, and sheet music simply cannot.

Because musicianship lasts a lifetime.
