Unlocking the Secrets of Music… even for me!
This podcast make me feel like a child that’s just learned a magic trick… I’m amazed, baffled, excited, and can’t wait to try it on my own! Except after every episode I sit down at a keyboard to try out whatever new “tricks” I’ve learned from Music Student 101. I’m not a music student, but I’ve always loved music. I wanted to learn more and eventually found this podcast. And I have learned so much more… The approach is tried and true in this format: two good friends talking about a subject they love. They stick to an agenda that gets a lesson across, occasionally (admittedly) digressing. But it happens in such an organic way that I find myself taking the journey with them, and laughing out loud at some of the nerdy music jokes. And it always comes back to teaching us the subject, and does so in the clearest of terms. We get to hear examples of what topic talking about. Guest speakers join them for special episodes on a specific instrument or technique. Topics vary from technical to sometimes esoteric. I’m only 48 episodes in and I can’t wait to hear more!! I highly recommend Music Student 101 as a casual but effective way to learn music theory. I have learned more in the past couple of months listening to these guys than a couple years of piano lessons, playing cheat book music for years, watching dozens of YouTube videos, and even trying a subscription to MasterClass. There’s just something about these guys that gets the lesson through! Please keep it coming gentlemen!

Love this. I’m a long-time guitar player that’s always neglected the theory side. Now I’m really enjoying just tuning in to learn about all this stuff and my playing is totally improved as a result. Keep it up.

I think the way Matt and Jeremy cover the material makes it approachable for both students, as well as anyone with a musical background who wants to expand his/her knowledge. Highly recommended!
