How it Works: Your 4-Week Practice Plan
This program is grounded in tested, practical methods drawn from real-world experience – designed to help you train the way musicians actually listen and play.
Over the next 30 days, you’ll follow a focused training sequence rooted in the same methods I’ve used with thousands of students and in my own professional career.
Each week builds on the last to develop your listening skills step-by-step:
WEEK 1:
FOUNDATIONS I – Tonic & Dominant
Train your ears to recognize the most essential harmonic elements in music. Practice with solfège, audio prompts, composition and improvisation.
PLAYING BENEFIT:
Confidently identify and play I-V progressions by ear – without relying on written analysis or memorized rules.
CAREER BENEFIT:
Show up to rehearsals and sessions ready to contribute without second-guessing what you hear.
WEEK 2:
FOUNDATIONS II – Subdominant & Minor
Deepen your harmonic vocabulary and explore the next layer of common progressions. Includes real-music examples and a mid-program listening challenge.
PLAYING BENEFIT:
Hear IV and vi chords in context so you can follow real progressions, not just theory examples.
CAREER BENEFIT:
Broaden your harmonic language so you're ready for more challenging charts and creative moments.
WEEK 3:
TRANSCRIPTIONS
Learn how to transcribe melodies and solos by ear – without needing your instrument. Focus on repeated listening, internalization, and confident notation.
PLAYING BENEFIT:
Build real-time awareness of melody and phrasing, so your ears respond instantly when you're practicing, improvising, or performing.
CAREER BENEFIT:
Become the musician everyone wants in the room: fast ears, no guesswork.
WEEK 4:
ADVANCED LISTENING
Take your ear to the next level. Practice hearing modulations, chromaticism, and complex lines through creative exercises with guided audio.
PLAYING BENEFIT:
Decode modulations and unexpected changes on the fly—no deer-in-headlights moments.
CAREER BENEFIT:
When that high-level gig comes – whether it’s jazz, classical, film, or genre-bending work – you’ll be ready to meet the musical moment with sharp, responsive ears.

FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS AND INSTRUMENTALISTS
BETTER EARS IN 30 DAYS is designed for musicians of all skill levels and instruments. It doesn't matter what genre of music you play. Whether you're a beginner, seasoned pro, or just in it for the love of music, this eBook is designed to help take you to the next level of your musicianship. Just imagine the feeling of walking into any audition, recital, or recording session confident in your ability to hear and understand the music – every time.
BASED ON RESEARCH AND REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE
Many ear-training books focus on decontextualized skills that simply do not work. The teaching in this book isn't just made up – it's based on nearly 25 years of practice, 20 years of study with world-renowned ear training researchers and pedagogues, and my career as both a performer and university lecturer. Cut through the clutter and trust a resource that delivers results.
ZERO RISK
At $27 for four weeks of guided content, there is no risk in taking a chance on it. In fact, the true risk lies in doing nothing. The true risk lies in waiting for change without taking steps toward it. I've curated what I believe to be the best ear training experience on the market, so you don't have to spin your wheels anymore.
Trust me – this is your moment…and I'm here to guide you to that next stage of your musical career.
