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.

and talented young people when you

let them loose on instruments and hi-tech equipment in an environment of inspiration and fun.
