The Music Interval Theory Podcast

Education Podcasts

Many composers struggle to write original and fresh music and get frustrated. At the Music Interval Theory Academy (MITA), we teach a transparent and proven methodology that will help you define your unique musical voice and raise above the generic sound of everybody else. Don't be tricked into believing that most of the composers you admire are (or were) born geniuses. We know that the vast majority of great composers are trained. We know you are the kind of composer who wants to be a powerful and convincing storyteller. In order to be that way, you need to understand the structure and architecture of music. And also how to use these elements in your compositions. We know you want to be in control of the story and feel confident about your skills. The problem is that conventional theory doesn't get you there! However, we believe that every composer should have access to this knowledge. This is fundamentally important, and we understand the frustration many composers go through, and it's not their fault! That's why we teach a transparent methodology and proven concepts that lead to great results!
