Fast and Focused Course and Method for Learning Music Principles Is All About
Getting It Down Cold - Easily!
Music Students and Teachers,
[](#Heres_How_to_Get_the_Course_and_What_to)
My name is Brad Chidester and I'm the owner of Music Learning Workshop.com.
[](#Get_it_now)I've studied music both the hard way and the easy way. After finding out that there is a better, faster, and easier way to learn music, I developed this course as a way to help others learn music quickly and with less effort.
The Issue:
"Struggling to learn music a little at a time,
instead of quickly getting it down so you can focus on what you really want to do which is playing great music!"
You can find a lot of information about music theory concepts that are the basis for learning music. However...
....there is one problem with the concepts. That is you have to implement concentrated effort to actually learn the theory and to achieve mastery of music. These other sources just don't get the job done!
Another stumbling block is that most teachers take far too long to get the theory taught to their students.
And some teachers are great about making sure you are getting it done at a much faster rate. And quite frankly you need to find one or be one of those teachers.
Some of you have even tried several books even the ones that insult your intelligence. You're not dumb or an idiot, you have simply not been informed in the proper way. You wouldn't be looking for a resource like this if you were. You're thinking smart because you're looking for that great resource that's going to get you where you want to go.
Theorist vs. Note by Note Teaching
Did you know that the great composers where taught by theorists and were not taught note by note. They were composers because they truly understood and used music theory principles and concepts.
Today a lot of music teaching is done note by note and therefore people don't read music they spell it one grueling note at a time. So the end result is that you can learn to play but you don't understand what you're playing let alone what you might do to improve it or compose your own masterpiece.
When you take time to learn music concepts that's when you become
great composers, arrangers, and masters of performance.
I was talking with one of my mentors and she has new students, who have been taught for several years, and don't even know how to define or understand intervals. (The distance between two notes, by the way.) This is one of most basic concepts we have in music, and if you want to learn about chord and scale structures you had better know them down cold!
The Fast and Easy Way
Studying music principals and applying that knowledge is really the key to accelerating your music learning experience.
That's why I have developed workshops and this music theory course that accelerate your knowledge of these fundamental elements of music and allow you to learn music fast and get the concepts down cold.

The GIDC Music Theory Course vs. the Book Store
Look, you can actually go to the book store and find a dozen books on music theory. They all have great information in them.
Here's the thing…
I've found that they teach by telling you, not by making you work through it to get it into long term memory.
Actually if you know quite a bit about music theory they make a better reference book than a learning book. They just aren't set up to really teach you in depth without the teacher.
That's why I have developed the monthly
Getting It Down Cold Music Theory Course.
It helps you independently study and lets your teacher move you down the road to being a musician, faster. Your teachers and mentors can really focus on quality and control of your instrument while you zoom through the necessary theory lessons.
The Value of Good Resources
Let's take a look at value of using a quality resource like the Getting It Down Cold Music Theory Course.
The amount of knowledge in this course, taught the old traditional way, would easily take 3 to 5 years to learn. And it's likely you won't even learn it all by then.
If you apply consistent effort with the Music Theory Course you can learn that theory in under a year and have mastered it as well.
The average cost of lessons is $100 to $125 USD per month or about $1200 per year.
So for easy math let's say it takes you 3 years to learn all this information. Hey, and quite frankly I'll bet you don't get all of it in that time frame. So...
$1200 x 3 yrs = $3,600 USD.
and at 5 years
$1200 x 5 yrs = $6,000 USD
Now, a lot of that goes to learning your instrument and playing and all the good stuff. But the inadequate theory lessons slow down progress. So you aren't learning as fast as you should.
My experience is that you are likely to get 5 to 7 music books a year on average while taking lessons. Say your lucky and only pay on average $10 per book per year, that's another.
$50 x 5 is equal to $250 or
at $20 per book ($100 x 5 = $500)
It's more like $500 from the prices out there today. But guess what, they only give you a fraction of the theory you will learn with this music theory course.
Now I've compared books available and when I tallied up the cost of those books in the store to cover the same amount of learning materials, I was shocked dismayed, and appalled!
It was easy to spend over $200 and it still wasn't as complete as this course! I even ended up in advanced jazz books to get some of this basic information.
How's the beginning student ever going to make it with that approach?
Take a look at it another way.
If you obtain a complete, practical, and easy to use and understand music theory course that takes 3 to 5 years off your study time, you can save thousands of dollars in lessons.
What would that be worth to you?
If you could spend less than $150 now to save $1000 to $6000 over the next 3 to 5 years.
Wouldn't that be worth thinking about?
Sure it would. You can get to your end goal for a whole lot less money and effort. Working smarter not harder!
