Foundations course - extremely basic, and a hard sell on other materials!
I signed up for the Foundations course, which was advertised as suitable for beginner to advanced musicians. The first red flag was the extensive (45 minute) upsell video you are forced to sit through before accessing the course. It was extremely inappropriate to try to upsell before being able to sample the material at all. The second issue was the extremely slow pace. You are forced to wait a week between modules. The modules often didn't open on time. The final straw is that the material is painfully basic. I believe it is appropriate for rank beginners with no previous exposure to musical notation and ear training. I can see how it would be a great path for kids. Overall, it was a waste of money for me.

Hi John,
We're very sorry to hear that Foundations wasn't a fit for you.
By way of explanation: the course is designed to go "back to basics" because the method requires a fundamental shift in how one approaches pitch and rhythm throughout music. We have had musicians from a wide range of experience levels, from beginner through to professional, absolutely love the course - but we do understand that this won't appeal to everyone.
We have a full money-back guarantee policy, so if you haven't already, please do contact our support team and we'll be happy to issue a refund for you.
Regarding the special offer during checkout, this is optional and there is a link on the page to skip watching it if you're not interested. Apologies if this wasn't clear enough, our intention certainly isn't to force anybody to waste their time! :)
