Part of that is being smart about when we tell people to go back and recreate the same thing they did months ago, so that they don’t lose it.” So that’s figuring out what people need to work on and being able to direct it. So if you’re doing five minutes a day, how to make that five minutes much more useful than just doing five minutes of unguided practice. The third area is making your practice more effective. Our customers say that, once they’ve got into that habit, they start to progress really quickly, with just a small amount every day. You’re encouraged to practice, and you’re rewarded for doing five minutes a day. ![]() The second layer is all of the stuff that we do to help you get into the habit of practicing. “The first is the immediate feedback that you get when you’re playing, which actually helps you to learn how to play a part. Melodics then tailors a set of lessons for you, and guides you through exercises with a slick user interface.īehind the scenes of the software, there are three key parts to the Melodics experience, as Gribben explains. The free version limits play to five minutes of performance per day, but monthly and annual pricing options allow for unlimited play time, over 1000 lessons, courses and exercises, new weekly content, and the ability to free-play over lessons. The first time you fire it up, you are asked to complete some questions about your musical aspirations and preferences. Melodics is free to download and comes with 60 free lessons for keys, pad controllers and drums. So far, no-one’s ever challenged us on that!” If you don’t practice, you won’t get better.

The current state of the art is YouTube videos, and while YouTube is an amazing resource for learning to play instruments and learning to play music, it is really one-way. Melodics creator and CEO Sam Gribben sets the scene: “Music education in general hasn’t really changed for centuries. Until now, that is, thanks to Melodics, an interactive desktop app that aims to improve your musical abilities through tailored learning and customised practice, which adapts its content based on your playing ability, style and musical preferences. ![]() Although modern tools have helped to augment these practices, there’s been few, if any, competitors to the rigid status quo of conventional music learning. ![]() While this is a tried-and-tested method of learning, and countless incredible musicians have been nurtured and developed this way, it is old-fashioned. But for years, learning an instrument generally involved doing the same thing as everyone else, learning in a certain way from the same teacher, and following a curriculum that was determined by an exam board who had no bearing on where you wanted to go, musically. Perhaps your experience was more inspirational and formative. Anyone lucky enough to have a formal musical education will recall hour-long, tutor-led sessions with a rigid format, barely tailored to your abilities or musical ambitions. ![]()
