The ground-breaking new book Musicality from leading music education provider Musical U has been released this week for Amazon Kindle, becoming an instant best-seller. In its first 24 hours the book shot straight to the top of the best-seller rankings for competitive music education categories, including Music Theory, Music Reference, and Music Encyclopedias.
Designed to be a comprehensive guide to developing your own musicality, and written specifically with the adult learner in mind, Musicality goes in-depth on topics which are rarely taught in traditional music education—and yet these very same topics and skills are the ones which make the difference between the perpetually-struggling hobbyist, and the apparently-gifted virtuoso.
The book includes dedicated chapters on such topics as accelerated music learning (a.k.a. “superlearning”), active listening, audiation, singing, rhythm, ear training, playing by ear, improvisation, songwriting, playing with expression, and musical performance.
Musicality is based on the extensive experience of the Musical U team, as well as 15 years spent helping adult music learners to develop these skills online.
“We’ve packed the book with absolutely everything we could, to help the reader succeed. All our most powerful and effective proven methods which let the average, everyday music learner to develop the skills most people think take ‘talent’,” explains Christopher Sutton, the book’s author and Director of Musical U.
Musicality has already proved to be a big hit with Musical U’s existing audience, selling over 5x the projected number of hardcover copies during the early launch period.
Now with the Kindle release, it is poised to reach an even wider audience and help bring these uncommon-yet-proven methods of rapid musical development into the mainstream.
