Musicality: How you too can learn music like a gifted prodigy, unlock your musical instinct, and unleash your inner natural.

The 'missing manual' which every musician and music-learner should have been handed on day one. Have you ever wondered how the musical "greats" do what they do? Whether it's the child prodigy who masters instrument technique and new music ultra-fast... the creative genius who can conjure up incredible-sounding music on-the-fly and write songs that are remembered for generations... or the campfire hero who can sit with any music group, any time, and nail any song that gets called out, no sheet music in sight. It's easy to assume that those musicians have some special "talent" or "gift". But the surprising truth is that every single skill we associate with "being a natural" in music is, in fact, learnable-by anyone. Written based on 15+ years of experience helping 30,000+ adult music-learners of all kinds at Musical U, Musicality covers all the topics and skills which are never normally taught... but can enable anyone to achieve the musical feats most assume take "talent". Including detailed chapters on: • Musicality and Musical Mindset • Active Listening • Audiation • Ear Training (incl. Solfa, Intervals, Chords and Progressions) • Playing By Ear • Improvisation • Songwriting/Composing • Singing in Tune • Mastering Rhythm • Playing With Expression • Spell-Binding Performance ... and even the modern "Superlearning" techniques which let you learn up to 10x faster. This book was written with the average adult musician in mind, from hobbyist/beginner through to pro. Musicality is suitable for all instruments, from piano/keyboard, guitar and bass through to ukulele, trumpet, saxophone, violin, harmonica, mountain dulcimer... And for every genre, from rock/pop, jazz, country, folk and classical through to electronic, dance, punk, R'n'B and techno. The "inner skills" of music are universal. Its 840+ pages are packed with the information, explanations, methods, and tips and tricks you need to finally become the musician you've dreamed of being.
