Whatever kind of musician you are – hobbyist, student or professional – and whatever style of music and instrument you play, one thing is for certain: you want to be the best you can be, and use your most precious asset, time, in the most effective way possible to get you there.

What if the time in between your practice sessions could make you more musical?

What if ideas, information and techniques you could acquire outside of the practice room could have a massive positive impact on your musicality?

The reality is that learning through audio (like with podcast episodes) is an easy, flexible and proven way to take advantage of the “dead time” that we all have in our schedules – whether it be driving to work, waiting on an appointment, or doing household chores – and turn it to our musical advantage.

This is why we created the Musicality Podcast. And why the Musical U team has put so much time into creating valuable episodes week after week that all have practical ideas and exercises you can apply into your daily playing.

As musicians we don’t just play music… we live for music.

Every moment is precious – and every moment can move you closer to your musical goals if you’re equipped with the knowledge and instruction you need.

You’re going to love how The Musicality Podcast helps you to develop the musical mindset that will let you be more creative in your music, explore new genres and instruments, and to become more confident in all the ways that you express your musical self.

The Musicality Podcast Power Pack is your shortcut to having the musical mind you’ve been yearning for – all in one convenient package, delivered to your doorstep.
