U.S.A. Three seminars have already been delivered in Munich, Vienna
and
Boston with rave reviews from over 180 attendees! One more seminar is
scheduled to be delivered in 2008 in

subject by explaining what works
and what does not when it comes
to learning how to sing well enough to enjoy performing for an audience.

Understanding the Basics of Singing Seminar in Holzhausen at the beautiful Ammersee near Munich, Germany. WHAT GRADUATES ARE SAYING "I didn't know where to start with my vocal training. This seminar has got me started and already increasing my vocal potential." - N.F. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Duncan Lorien! I was thrilled and surprised to learn that I DO have power behind my voice!" - M.C. "I have learned so much about singing and have improved dramatically. This data is not only limited to singing but is also about self-improvement." - C.W. "Thank you for your wonderful teaching methods and great sense of humor. Again, thanks a million!" - Y.A. "Thank you Duncan!!! You showed us the steps to becoming excellent singers. I am better already and will now be a great singer!!!" - D.G. "Thank you for enlightening me in what I have loved all my life, helping me to understand and do it with more fire!" - J.S. "In 20 years of being a professional singer nobody has given me so much help, information and understanding as Duncan did in 2 days. I always had problems with higher notes, now I have a way to manage them. I have also improved transitions between different registers of my voice. There is so much potential available by using the practice schedule in the handbook" - S.F.  Students practice one of
Duncan's unique singing drills.
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. There
is one more Understanding the Basics of Singing Seminar™
still to be delivered in 2008 and four already scheduled for 2009. The
seminar is as applicable to beginners as it is
to professionals.
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 ."

"I loved this seminar! It has given me much more
than I had hoped. I know without a doubt that I can create an
Thank you, thank you, thank you."endless array of songs and this thrills me for I know that I will do it! Duncan is phenomenal - his seminar is amazing. Anyone who has a desire to write a song should do this." - J.G. "Now I fully possess the tools to make a buck or two selling songs rather than treating this as an amateur exercise - which is my wife's dream!!!! Duncan, your knowledge of music is enormous. Your ability to teach the simplicity therein incredibly unique. That said, your heart and spirit are your true gifts!!" - R.S. "I didn't think Duncan could top himself after The Understanding of Music Seminar - but he has! I really wondered whether I'd be able to write songs after this seminar. Thankfully, Duncan under-promised and over-delivered. I now know that I have all the tools ever needed to compose full-fledged songs. Thank you Duncan!" - R.N. "This was everything promised and more! I'm confident that my writing will really, REALLY take-off now, both in quantity and quality!" - M.C. "I'm speechless and overwhelmed! The simplicity with which the subject (or more accurately, the 'activity') has been communicated is literally mind-blowing in itself. Much admiration and appreciation." - T.S. "This seminar delivers its promise; in one weekend I was able to gain all the tools necessary to externalize my musical ideas. Duncan's unique approach to songwriting should not be missed by anyone, be they a novice or a professional songwriter." - C.B. "Awesome!! Invaluable!! Inspirational!!" - A.L. "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. "This (seminar) gave me the exact tools that I need to write songs! I am so excited to be able to create and pursue my dream! It is amazing to me that songwriters actually write without these tools!" - T.T. 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 still another eight Understanding of Music Seminars™ scheduled around the
world for 2008 (see Seminar
Schedule for details)
Duncan Lorien says "every graduate of this seminar knows
the names of the tones on keyboard, guitar and how to work out the
names of the tones on many other instruments, they know their scales,
modes (a type of scale) and chords on both guitar and keyboard plus
they have made an enormous leap forward in their coordination. This
does not occur for some graduates but for every graduate!"
"I'm so
grateful. I feel released from a prison of
boring piano lessons where I didn't understand what or even why I was
learning. When you told us that we were learning to play scales in
order to create I really cried with joy and the relief from
frustration.
Thank you!" - C.P. "Thank you
for opening the doors and windows to a
whole new dimension in music for me - I can't beieve I was able to play
on keyboard with
both hands!!! I am amazed at your energy; your teaching methods and
communication skills are excellent!"
- A.D. "Duncan
strips away the mysteries and difficulties
surrounding the art of playing music and brings the to do both to the
masses. You've opened up
the possibilities to a degree I would never have thought possible!" -
A.R. "Thank you
so much for an enlightening seminar. Having
studied piano and theory from the age of 6 years I never understood or
had explained to me
many of the things contained in this seminar." - K.C. "Brilliant
seminar. Can't express how priceless a gift
this is. Thank you Duncan." - N.B. "I was so
enthralled and enthusiastic after the first 2
hours that I immediately registered for the songwriting seminar, bought
an extra guitar and even
bought an electric piano! Thank you so much - this is life-changing in
more ways than just musically - you are a
star!" - S.H.
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
