Question: Who else teaches Tone-deaf people? Answer: Almost no-one, as far as I can tell Many sites use the term 'tone-deaf' because it gets Googled. They string you along with a discussion of tone-deafness just to keep you reading. When you get to the end it seems they can teach you singing only if you're not tone-deaf. They don't say what you can do if you are tone-deaf, or they have useless advice like 'strengthen your voice,' 'find the starting note,' or 'listen carefully.' That is so not going to work. Every few years since 2000 I have searched online for anyone successfully teaching people with tone-deafness but I didn't find anyone until early 2022. It was a reference to a person in the USA teaching groups in 1991 but details were few. Next I read online about another teacher who had succeeded with someone with amusia after more than a year of lessons, which seems like a very long time. My students get noticeable improvements after a few months. There are two research papers giving details of interventions which completely failed for obvious reasons. Soon I will post critiques of these with links. If you have or may have amusia, read about my lessons for people with tone-deafness here and here, or contact me for lessons. |
