"Get the same music theory course that schools and colleges are using!"

Gary Ewer's Easy Music Theory on CD-ROM will show you how music works, and how to have fun doing it!
By  Gary Ewer - music clinician/ teacher/ composer/ arranger

I LOVE music theory - and you can too!

I've been teaching music theory for many years, to students from elementary school through to college-level. So if there's one advantage I have regarding the teaching music theory, it's years of experience.

You're on this page because you need to know how music works. And I know that you will find music theory difficult if one of the following is true:

  • you hate music theory;
  • you were taught by someone who hates music theory;
  • you were taught by someone who doesn't really understand music theory.


Even if just one of those statements is true, you have probably found music theory to be hard to understand, and maybe even boring.

Wouldn't it be a dream come true if you could find a course that teaches you quickly, and makes sure that you have fun doing it?

Imagine having fun with music.  Having real fun because it's easy, it's exciting, and it's just plain comfortable to play.  Suddenly, you like the feeling of playing because the awkwardness that comes with not knowing much about music is gone.  It's gone because you've studied music theory - the study of how music works.


"Definitely the greatest course in the universe. I recommend it to any budding musician. Many thanks for making my music-making even more enjoyable."
- Roland in New Zealand





"I have not found a better clarification since I found your website."
-James in NY



"I have started the lessons and they are GREAT!!! ...Thanks to YOU, I’m well on my way to being musically literate!"
-Laurie in Texas

So You Have Questions?

I feel sad for any musician who can't understand what music really is. I know people who play just fine, but can't really communicate musical ideas to others. If you play an instrument, if you write songs, if you think you'll be playing in the school band, or studying music at college someday, you need to face facts: you need music theory.

Theory is what allows you to understand music. And understanding is the beginning of enjoyment. So you need this course if you've ever asked yourself:
  • What does it mean to be "in a key"?
  • How do I transpose music to a different key?
  • How do I write major and minor scales?
  • What the heck is a key signature?
  • What's a semitone?
  • What's a time signature?
  • What's a triad?
  • What does it mean to invert a chord?

And most importantly, you need this course if you've ever said to yourself, "Why do I find music theory to be so boring and so hard?"

Do I Need a Teacher To Do Gary Ewer's Easy Music Theory on CD-ROM?

No. Even though having your own teacher is always the best situation, I designed this course to make it easy for you if you have to study on your own, without a music teacher. The fact is, with the videos that accompany each lesson, it's like having me right there, as your own teacher, showing you each and every concept in fun, easy-to-understand terminology. So whether you're in grade school, or an adult learner who's come back to music after years away from it, you will learn from this course.

Am I Too OLD to Learn Music Theory?

NO! You're never too old to understand anything. If you want learn how music works, and have fun doing it, you're at the right age no matter what age you are! This course is very popular with adult music students of all ages.

Am I Too YOUNG to Learn Music Theory?

Parents have bought this course for their elementary-school-aged children, and have had great success. This course begins with the most elementary concepts of music theory ("Here is a five-line staff..."), so if your child can count to five, they're ready! :)

And the great thing is that the course can move as quickly or as slowly as you need it to. It's common for students of any age to complete the first few lessons in just a few minutes! And if you need more time for the more advanced lessons, no problem. Always go at your own pace.

I believe that a typical junior student or older (age 12 or older) should be able to complete the entire 25-lesson course.

Can Something That's FUN be Useful?

Something that is fun will keep a student focused and hooked. Fun simply means you won't be bored, and you'll have a great attitude. So my opinion is, you can't afford to buy a course that's dull, dry and boring. (By the way, is it just me... Why is it that the most boring theory courses out there cost the most?)

FUN is never used in my course to mean "fluffy" or silly. Trust me, when you've completed this course, you will TRULY UNDERSTAND music theory.

What's the Difference Between Your Online Free Course and the CD-ROM Course?

The online lessons that I offer are only a small example of what the CD-ROM would offer. The CD-ROM has features that I don't put on my free lessons:
  • VIDEOS that thoroughly explain the musical concepts for each lesson
  • EXTENSIVE WORKSHEETS with tons of examples.
  • FUN FACTS!
  • A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE, a guarantee that says that you WILL LEARN how music works.
More than anything else, it's the videos that I believe you will really find useful. It's like having me right by your side, teaching you as you go.

Gary Ewer's Easy Music Theory on CD-ROMI designed this course to be completed by anyone, even if you don't have a music theory teacher. I have students from around the world writing me all the time, telling me how the course has helped them prepare for college exams, school tests, conservatory exams and more. And many of those students did my course without the help of a music teacher. ON THEIR OWN. You can too, I have no doubt!

It's completely guaranteed! Purchase today with complete confidence!

I wish you all the best in your music studies!
