DETERMINATION
OF A GRADUATE WHO TRAVELLED OVER 3000 MILES TO THE SEMINAR
E-mail
received a few days before the seminar:Dear Duncan, I have not found a ride out of here yet, but I have one more possibility with a trapper that needs supplies. The problem is that I am hundreds of miles from any major roads and it is only fly-in/fly-out. I have a plane ticket from Anchorage (Alaska) to Boston (Massachusetts). It is just getting out of here that is the problem. I am going to make the five-mile hike to his cabin now to see if he is willing to give me a ride. So I will let you know either way in the morning. Sorry for the delay. Smiles from the wild, wild West - D.M. And her success story after completing the seminar: "My career came to a halt when after a performance I was told by someone that I had the prettiest voice he had ever heard but that I made him feel uncomfortable and uneasy. From this seminar I realized that I wasn't taking command of the room. I now have the tools to take command of any audience!" - D.M. Says
Duncan Lorien "every graduate of the singing seminar acquires
powerful and simple
tools by the end of this seminar; an actual pathway to the singing voice they have always dreamed of and it is as applicable to beginners as it is to professionals.

"Duncan is truly the god of music teachers. My knowledge of chords and melody are going to help me fly like never before! This has truly been the most beautiful, enlightening thing I've done with my musical career. The whole world needs this data!" - D.O. GETTING
PAID AS A SONGWRITER
"Hi
Duncan,
I just wanted to share my latest win with you. A friend of a friend just hired me to help him write lyrics for a marketing campaign for his company. I blew him away with the volume and quality of lyrics I was able to generate in a very short period of time (little does he know what the volume actually was, since I only shared the best ones with him...). Of course I am using all the techniques I learned in your seminars, from the really good idea drill to the emotional response palette, and the ever popular 2 minute songwriting drill. This contract pays back more than I have spent on your seminars, so that's an ROI (return on investment) you can't argue with. Thank you for teaching me how to get paid for my music. The more I work with your material the more powerful it becomes. And I tell everyone about it... Andrew Winig

OF MUSIC SEMINAR™
There are many upcoming Understanding of Music Seminars™ scheduled around the
world (see Seminar
Schedule for details).
Duncan Lorien says "every graduate of this seminar knows
the names of the notes on keyboard, guitar and how to work out the
names of the notes on many other instruments, they know their scales,
modes (a type of scale) and chords on both guitar and keyboard, greatly improved coordination and much, much more. This
does not occur for SOME graduates but for EVERY graduate!"
"Thanks
Duncan for opening the door, erasing the myths and taking this message
and method to the world!" - L.S. "I'm so
grateful. I feel released from a prison of
boring piano lessons where I didn't understand what or even why I "Thank you

enthralled and enthusiastic after the first 2
hours that I immediately registered for the songwriting seminar, "There are
no words to express my gratitude - this means much more to me than
being able to access music; it means "It
took me a whole year studying music theory to cover what you taught
everyone in one weekend!" - N.F. "Even as a
music teacher I still doubted myself and my ability. Now I feel like
there is NO limit as

SUCCESS STORY OF A GRADUATE WHO FOLLOWED THE PRACTICE SCHEDULE "The
seminar does exactly what it says it is going to do! After a year of
following the practice schedule I can
honestly say I've advanced more than in the previous thirty years. As a bonus, it has enabled me to help my ten-year old daughter to stick with and thrive on her piano studies. This seminar is easily worth double the money." - J.B. SUCCESS
STORY OF A PROFESSIONAL This
goes
out to all you musical artists who think you don't need a seminar like
Duncan Lorien's Understanding of
Music Seminar. Well maybe you don't. But take it from someone who has been a professional musician for 40 years and a successful and professional composer and songwriter for 30 years. The one thing I have found to be true about the top composers and musicians in my field is they never stop learning. Of course if you have achieved everything you want and know you are a master in the area of music then this course is not for you. If however you want to increase your success as a musical artist you may want to do this course. Even though I have music in over 30 films including an Academy Award nominee and Emmy winning shows, and I have scores and songs in three animated TV series currently running, and I just finished the scores for two top Discovery channel specials; one on Lance Armstrong and another on the Titanic with James Cameron, I still found time to do Duncan's seminar. You know why? Because he has what no other course offers. The most revealing information and truth regarding the real source of Western music as we know it. I have studied with some of the top composers on the planet. I live in LA! They don't teach it. Duncan has spent his life researching and studying what this music with these 12 tones comes from. He has also combined this with some of the most advanced study technology anywhere. So no matter how much you think you know, you will know things you had no idea existed if you do Duncan's seminar. I only say that because I want to impress upon you that you will be giving yourself a great gift by taking Duncan's seminar. I consider I have achieved some measure of success but I want to achieve more. I cleared up several major confusions while studying with Duncan. That was priceless. So if you have any doubts, take it from someone who may appear not to need it. DO DUNCAN'S COURSE! very best, Geoff Levin
