Before you learn any names or symbols, I want you to hear something.

Music has a pattern, and you can hear it before anyone teaches you a single term. That's how every lesson here works: sound first, then the idea, then the name. Start below.

Your teacher, Temmykeys

I've been playing for over ten years, and it started in church, where I learned to trust my ears before I ever learned the names for what I was hearing. That's how I teach. I work with kids, teens, and beginner adults, train choirs, and prepare students for exams, alongside studying music production at Leeds Beckett. Most people are scared of theory, but it's easy with the right teacher. Nothing beats watching a student go from knowing nothing, to playing songs, to hearing music the way I do. That's what this course is built to do.

No ads, and I don't track you. Your progress saves on this device as you go. If you ever want it on your phone as well as your laptop, you can make an account.

You can learn most of this course by sight as well as sound. Every key lights up, every distance can be counted on the keys, and every chord shows its shape. The ear training strand is the one part built on listening.
