You learn by doing, in many ways.
Memorizing does not make anyone play better. So every Solmiza lesson mixes different ways to practice: sometimes you remember, sometimes you guess what will happen, sometimes you pick up the guitar and play. That way what you learn sticks.
- 01
Remember
The warm-up. A quick question, with the answer checked right away. No lesson stops there.
- 02
Predict
Before you listen, you bet on what will happen. If I change this note, does the chord sound brighter or darker? Then you listen and check.
- 03
Compare
The same task in two places on the neck or in two keys. You notice what changes (where the hand goes) and what stays the same (how the music sounds).
- 04
Transform
You get a request, like making a chord more tense, and you make the change with your own hands instead of just naming it.
- 05
Choose
There is not always a single right answer. You choose between good options and find out why some sound better than others.
- 06
Build
Under constructionYou make something of your own, like four bars that end the way you agreed, and Solmiza checks that it works.
- 07
Play
You play the answer on a real guitar and the microphone checks the notes and the timing. It is always optional: every playing exercise can also be answered on the screen.
Rules that keep practice enjoyable
- Every lesson ends with you doing something with music: building, changing key or playing. Never just memorizing a name.
- No lesson is made only of memory questions from start to finish.
- Every level has exercises where you think about what will happen before you listen.
- The same kind of exercise never shows up three times in a row, so practice does not get repetitive.
Every published lesson follows these rules, no exceptions.
The course's pieces were written for it. They do not come from any known song, so they are yours to play anywhere.
