The course includes over 200 exercises, assignments, and quizzes.

All material is presented in a straight forward manner, that doesn’t waste time and gets right to the point. This course is part of a series of courses that focus on practical aspects of music (along with some necessary theoretical knowledge). It is Mr. Peters’ 9th course overall.

The exercises can be done along with the videos or if you so desire, you will have the option to download PDFs.

This course is intended for beginners, those who want a refresher, those who may have not learned things correctly the first time, and anyone just wanting to learn more about music. You must have a basic ability to read notes, or have taken my course “Reading Music: Notes on the Staff & Keyboard”. You don’t need to know how to play the piano but it is helpful.
