The Akousunesis Method

Resources

Recommended Student Applications These are the application I have been personally using for many years now.

Chordify is a useful website application to help develop chord recognition and improve your timing. Using Chordify, you're able to search for any song on YouTube and Chordify will extract the chords for you while you're able to play along with the song, a fantastic tool for your musical development.
Songbook Pro is a tablet or desktop application I use as my main song database. Using Songbook Pro, your able to import songs (chords and lyrics) from Ultimate Guitar. Once imported into your tablet, you're able to edit the song and transpose it instantly to any key signature. You have the ability to backup your database to either a cloud drive or your computer.
Ultimate Guitar is a useful sight for looking up chord and lyric charts, however Songbook Pro searches this website for you.

Songbook Pro Sets For students using Songbook Pro, song sets will be available for download. Each set will contain a minimum of ten songs in which I have personally edited and prepared. These sets will correspond to the song analysis videos and save you time having to import and edit the songs yourself. I'll be selling each song set for $5 at my store. To install a set into Songbook Pro,

Click on the three dots on the top right of the screen and go into settings.
Select the Backup and Sync menu.
Click on the Restore Library button, browse to the set file location and click import.

Sets are $5 each, having a minimum of ten songs.

All song sets are available at the bookshop.

Resources for Akousunesis Teachers

Teachers may purchase lesson material for your student classes. Your purchase is also the license to use the power point presentation. You may use the license to teach as many students as desired. This is not an accredited Akousunesis teacher license, it only allows you to use the power point presentation.

John Thompson Beginners Series, Songbook Pro for your young students - COMING SOON

Start your young students by learning chords and hearing melodies, stop teaching them how to read notation and get timing correct on traditional notation, at least for now, you'll gain more students this way. The child needs to be looking at their hands, not a sheet of paper, you need to minimise the visual crutches. I'm currently creating a Songbook Pro Set for the John Thompson beginners series so the students can still sit for their classical exams. The set will contain all the exercises from the John Thompson book. Each exercise will contain, chords and lyrics, chords and intervals and the song skeleton.
