Our audio visual training system
Our System has been used in over
50 NSW schools by over 2000 music students.
From jazz, classical or rock songs, etudes, scales, chords, reading, and on multiple instruments, the system closely mimics the way a young mind visualises music to simplify the cognitive task
so music learning is faster and more fun.
Our commercial pitch training system
The two main pitch systems musicians use are perfect or absolute pitch, and relative pitch. For absolute pitch we use our commercial pitch training iOS application, Clear Pitch.
Blake Kearney spent ten years researching the
auditory phenomenon known as absolute pitch
and he created the application
to teach and drill the principles he developed.
See the video below for an in depth
understanding of how absolute pitch works,
and why it is so important for children to learn.

Students Musical Performance Clips
Students storyboarded, edited, acted, danced, played and sang in these videos. These creative projects are not meant to be glossy, professional music videos, they are the work of imaginative
and talented young people when you
let them loose on instruments and hi-tech equipment in an environment of inspiration and fun.
