This course solves the communication problem between different styles of music, by improving the balance between intuitive and technical musical craftsmanship. You learn to distinguish essentials from minorities.

The course is designed for musicians, instrumentalists, conductors and composers who want to step into the role of musical leader. We do not think in terms of classical music, jazz or pop; music is music.

What do you need to take on this role with confidence, regardless of musical style? And what are the universal characteristics of music? This course is ideal for musicians who feel at home in musical crossovers, who want to master universal communication.

This online course contains six sections:

1. The Course: meet your instructor and learn about his vision

2. Groove: learning to incorporate rhythms intuitively

3. Chords: train your inner system by stacking thirds

4. Audio & Scores: MIDI and communication media

5. Conducting Technique: non-verbal communication

6. The Process: how to control your own artistic process

After these six sections, you will be able to structure your projects from beginning to end, communicate with musicians of all backgrounds, and conduct and connect all styles of music.

These lectures also contain fact sheets and assignments. There is an active Q&A section with the possibility to interact with your instructor, Carlo Balemans. All lectures are subtitled in English.

Enjoy, and improve your Musical Leadership skills today!
