Learn Music Faster

Music is a hearing art, so knowing what you hear as you hear it speeds up everything. You will be able to apply what you hear and imagine to an instrument, notation, a computer, or even your own voice with new speed and ease.

Have More Fun Making Music

For many people, making music is fraught with confusing and unease. They don’t know what to play, they get lost, and have trouble interacting with other musicians. As your ability to play by ear improves, all these difficulties melt away.

Remember Music Longer

The more you use your ears to make music, the deeper that music places itself in your memory. It becomes less abstract and obscured by symbolic thinking. So, when you want to remember how to play something you haven’t played for a long time, it’s there for you!

Nurture the reasons you make music in the first place.

Joy

Does ear training feel like a chore, disconnected from the music you love?

Holistic Ear Training mixes an attitude of lightness and enjoyment to learning music by ear.

Ease

Does all the effort making music requires fill you with tension?

Do you feel confused when you try to play something by ear?

Holistic Ear Training brings ease to your music making.

Expression

Have you tried ear training exercises that were lifeless drills?

Holistic ear training connects your unique brilliance to your music learning.

Listening

Do you love to listen to music and wish that you understood more of what you heard in real time?

Holistic Ear Training brings vivid clarity to all the music you listen to and play.

Hans Indigo Spencer

Long ago, the Boston Globe tagged me a “Master Composer” for my work with my band The Indigo Invention Group. Since working with that group and Boston’s Jazz Composer’s Alliance, I have written music for choreographers, theater directors, and television producers. I thrive on collaboration, able to write in pretty much any style and sound palette you throw at me. My work composing scores for documentaries and animation can be heard on networks including Discovery, Nat Geo, History and PBS. My original scores for Portland Stage’s productions of “A Christmas Carol” and “The Snow Queen” live in their archives along with live production footage. I’ve also live-scored hundreds of short-form improvisation theater and educational performances. I love to compose, improvise, and collaborate. And I’ve done it a lot.
