Really good content and training

Really good content and training. I like the vibe of the website and communication. Only issues I am having is navigating around the website - can be confusing but perhaps that is because it is in flux due to being upgraded? That's the only reason I have not given 5 stars.

Difficulties with membership cancelation

1. Have a legit working U.S. ph#
2.Have a working Acct cancelation system instead of "File Not Found" message!

Hi Wilbur, we're so sorry to hear of this difficulty. We have just upgraded the account cancellation process, so I think you might have had unfortunate timing there getting a "file not found" message.

Our US phone number ( 844-981-0602) should be working correctly. Is that the number you dialled?

I've confirmed that your cancellation was processed promptly once you contacted support.

Again, our sincere apologies for the frustrating issues you encountered! That's certainly not the experience we aim for at Musical U and we'll work on making sure it doesn't happen again.

Looking forward to your new Musicality book!

I'm excited to receive your new Musicality book in print in a few weeks. I've taken a few courses with you in past years and have always found them immensely helpful, clear, awakening and applicable to my musical study and understanding! l am waiting to receive the 'immediate' download version of the book. Perhaps it's because I ordered it on a Friday night that it did not arrive immediately?

I’m a relatively new member

I’m a relatively new member, getting used to the site. For me it’s a new way of learning and it’s taking me some time to process. I feel like I suffer from information overload sometimes. I also think that the community discussion page would be better if it presented the latest discussion first.

Thank you for the feedback, John!

We will soon be releasing a brand-new version of the membership platform which greatly improves navigation and the discussion features, so hopefully that will make things smoother for you!

Looking forward to continuing to support you in your musical journey 🎶

Foundations course - extremely basic, and a hard sell on other materials!

I signed up for the Foundations course, which was advertised as suitable for beginner to advanced musicians. The first red flag was the extensive (45 minute) upsell video you are forced to sit through before accessing the course. It was extremely inappropriate to try to upsell before being able to sample the material at all. The second issue was the extremely slow pace. You are forced to wait a week between modules. The modules often didn't open on time. The final straw is that the material is painfully basic. I believe it is appropriate for rank beginners with no previous exposure to musical notation and ear training. I can see how it would be a great path for kids. Overall, it was a waste of money for me.

Hi John,

We're very sorry to hear that Foundations wasn't a fit for you.

By way of explanation: the course is designed to go "back to basics" because the method requires a fundamental shift in how one approaches pitch and rhythm throughout music. We have had musicians from a wide range of experience levels, from beginner through to professional, absolutely love the course - but we do understand that this won't appeal to everyone.

We have a full money-back guarantee policy, so if you haven't already, please do contact our support team and we'll be happy to issue a refund for you.

Regarding the special offer during checkout, this is optional and there is a link on the page to skip watching it if you're not interested. Apologies if this wasn't clear enough, our intention certainly isn't to force anybody to waste their time! :)

Good investment

My questions were answered promptly. The lessons are clear. My first time through them (2022)I saw results but found the sequence a bit hard to follow and keep straight. I was too anxious to ‘get through’ the lessons and experience super learning. Big mistake on my part. Fast forward 3 years-am revisiting the modules with fresh eyes, taking my time and seeing better results. I’m glad I purchased the practice module and would recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning music.

That's so wonderful to hear, Paulette! 🎉 Thank you for sharing your review.

We have some big improvements in the works which should help with the difficulties you encountered the first time, but we're so glad you gave it another try and are seeing good results!

TIMING

I believe this is an excellent way to learn but it would be great to see lots more examples to try and maybe more of a breakdown of how to actually get timing correct more so than pitch.
