Play by ear, improvise and understand chords in worship – New DVDs from Musicademy

Would you like to be able to hear a song and spontaneously find the chords without sheet music?

Would you like to be able to understand chords more deeply so you could transpose, rearrange and even find new chords for song writing?

A comprehensive course for learning to play by ear. Gain a deeper understanding of what you can do with chords.

Great for transcribing, arranging, transposing, improvising, songwriting or just getting away from the sheet music.

This  8-hour 4-DVD course will guide you through the process of working out what chord comes next in any song by ear then how to transpose into any other key. It will even teach you how to substitute chords to change the mood or feel of a song.

Plus each section includes plenty of in-depth demos, play alongs and there are 16 tests to maximise your learning.
