I’M Donovan Mixon, Musician & Educator
I’ve helped hundreds of students move closer to their musical dreams.
After forty years as a professional musician and educator (Berklee College of Music in Boston, University of Bologna in Italy, Istanbul Bilgi University in Turkey) I completely understand what it feels like to confront sight singing melodies without knowing where or even how to begin.
Here's why this method is for You...
have you ever?
Panicked when asked to read or transpose?
I know the stone-cold challenge of being asked to read or transpose music on sight or on the fly
got lost and can't find your way back?
...or the panic of getting lost in an arrangement without the ears to find your way back.
Couldn't get past the first notes of a lick
I’ve felt the heat of trying to learn a lick in the moment but couldn’t get past the first couple of notes.
jumped in the middle of a song in the wrong key
...or jumping into the middle of a song only to discover I was playing in a different key or was lost before I even knew it.
stuck to playing the same old 10 - 20 tunes?
You haven’t learned new music for a long time because your process involves a lot of guesswork.
tried lead sheets but can't read music
You don't read music very well so a lead sheet would be of little use and anyway, your ear couldn't tell you what's right.
felt stuck & Bored but still love to play
Playing with your buds is fun even if you’ve been performing the same 15 tunes for the past ten years. You haven’t learned new music for a long time because your process involves a lot of guesswork. You suppose it’s the same for your bandmates since everyone seems content playing the same old favorites. You’d like to play more demanding music but it’s like finding your way in a strange new city—everything looks familiar, but it doesn’t take long to figure out you’re lost. You don't read music very well so a lead sheet would be of little use and anyhow, your ear couldn’t tell you if the chords were right or not. The truth of the matter is you’re stuck and getting bored even if you do alright with the band. “S’all good” you tell yourself.
Taken ear training but it was just too hard!
The truth of the matter is you’re stuck and getting bored even if you do alright with the band.
let's get started!
