"I spent many frustrating years hunting and pecking around to try and learn songs by ear."

Jesse Perez, used by permission

"I have always wanted to learn songs without resorting to buying sheet music or following tabs. I spent many frustrating years hunting and pecking around to try and learn songs by ear.

Ari’s Ear Confidence course finally got me started on the tools I needed for learning this skill.

Working out songs by ear is always a challenge, but one of the most enjoyable parts of playing and studying music.

I am grateful to Ari’s course for helping me get started on this part of my musical education.”
