I was looking for a composition/music theory instruction kit at my local music store, but I couldn't find anything that explained these subjects clearly. Then I found the Virtual Music School. The VMS has a wealth of information. Even the Basic Section has details I hadn't learned in my previous music studies. I especially love the movies that show audio, notations and comments at the same time. There's nothing like it!

Virtual Music School's sound quality is stunning, and the instructions are clear and uncomplicated. I often import various play-along tracks into my sequencing program to record my own or my students solos or compings via MIDI or audio. The VMS provides the tempo of each track, so one can hardly imagine better feedback on timing, pitch and voicings.

The VMS is a magnificent, thorough and in-depth method both for self-study and to support lessons with students. I've used many good methods in my career but what I like so much about VMS, is that it offers a broad perspective combined with to-the-point and powerful instruction. And -very important- it is developed by a musician for musicians, which means it helps students through bottlenecks in a clear and methodical way, with theory and exercises that come from experience.

I have been looking round for years for a method for Jazz improvisation, finding either books that were too hard or books that simply didn't cover sufficient material. Virtual Music School with its multimedia approach provides an ideal comprehensive learning environment for the beginning to improving improviser. In no time at all it was unlocking secrets for me. It's worth every penny, thoroughly recommended

Özdemir Kalyoncu, guitarist from Istanbul, Turkey
Virtual Music School has a system. It includes explanation videos, nice backing tracks played by great musicians and exercises for ear training. Important to note that is that VMS is written in a common music language. The information in it is not written from a specific point of view. It should be valid all over the planet. Making music and learning about it should be fun for musicians. VMS doesn't contain useless information and confusing theoretical stuff. It is fun and worth the try!

I've been working with the afterbeat exercise from the Rhythm Gym. It is terribly confronting, but it really helps. After two weeks of daily surrender to this intensive brainwash, my timing has improved tremendously.

Marc Durwael, guitarist and teacher from Stevoort-Hasselt, Belgium
I am a very happy and satisfied VMS customer. I especially found the movie about chord symbols (including 9/11/13) very clarifying, and I loved the explanation of cadences and substitutions. VMS has been a revelation to me. Keep up the good work Bart

Remco Meisner, saxophonist from Nieuw Vennep, The Netherlands
VMS gives a very thorough and complete overview of the way harmonies, chord progressions and rhythms can be handled. It not only tells you what sounds good, but also which things are less desirable and why. It is the most complete package on music education I have seen so far. Chapeau!

Jelle Stoop, trumpeter from Amsterdam, The Netherlands
For the first time in twenty years of trying to improvise I‘m getting the feeling that I understand what I’m doing. To be precise: what I’m doing wrong and what I do right. This is thanks to your method. The combination of an overview of the harmonic system with the systematic practical exercises really helps. For example: your explanation and exercises on Modal Interchange put it into my ears and brain. It was hard work: endless repetitions with the MP3 tracks, but it was worth doing. Thanks!
