All the Freebies Below

One goal in my own practice, with my students, and in the 6-Bullet Saturday newsletter is to keep things practical and useful and inexpensive.

Below you’ll find links to all the free and/or cheap stuff I’ve found to help boost the quality of my practice.

Free Courses

• Free mini-course on jamming and improvising. This SUPER basic stuff, meant for absolute beginners, middle-school students and up.

Discounted Courses

• Basic Music Theory: How to Read, Write, and Understand Written Music: If you made it this far, congrats! You can take the course at a 50% Discount! Based on the eponymous bestselling book.

Free Printables

They’re taken from the “extras page” that goes along with Basic Music Theory: How to Read, Write, and Understand Written Music, a book I wrote for my students nearly 20 years ago because there was nothing like it on the market. There still isn’t (see free courses above and learn for free).

• free printable staff paper;
• a simple printable practice journal
• exercise tracking form
• piano keyboard with note names,
  • guitar fretboard with note names,
  • circle of fifths,
  • musical terms and markings;
  • major, minor, pentatonic, and blues scales along with patterns to practice (in treble clef) and a
• scale practice checklist.

Free Infographics

• Check out this great, free poster (see below) to remind yourself and your students about the power of mindsets. Also free and printable. It’s from chapter 6 of The Practice of Practice.
