Why USSCM?
|
|
 |
|
Virtually all successful musicians have benefited from high-level training.
But how many of us are able to attend a resident music school, or to engage
an outstanding private teacher? Unfortunately, most musicians, unable to
obtain this type of training where they live, are left on the outside,
looking in.
YOUR FUTURE PROFESSION
|
|
|
|
Founded 1977
Freelance Music changed all that in 1977 when it began to publish
information previously known only to an inner circle of music professionals
and world-class music teachers. Since that time, many of our students have
become professional writers and performing artists by studying at home -
saving considerable time and money.

Surprising Advantages over Residential Schools
As a USSCM student, you will develop your skills at home, at your own
accelerated or leisurely pace. You will realize extraordinary financial
savings through home study, while benefiting in ways not possible within a
residency school. For example, the specially designed course materials permit
you to interact with professional musicians immediately, not merely with other
students. USSCM courses are easily digestible, and isolate important elusive
information known only to those at the top of the musical crafts. For more
details, see "Brief History: Music Education."

Start Any Time
|
|
|
You may start your USSCM course at any time; there are no semester system
constraints. As you begin your studies, you'll receive a wealth of information
in the form of books, tapes, sheet music, fakebooks, software, articles, and
special publications not available elsewhere. As part of your program, you'll
receive a library of hand picked volumes, to round out your education and
provide a continuing source of inspiration/reference.

USSCM Faculty Advisor
|
|
|
USSCM has prepared study materials which contain the most relevant information
and use the latest learning techniques. Your interaction with us begins with
these materials, but does not end there. You'll be speaking periodically with
your Faculty Advisor (FA), who understands the subjects you're learning, and can
give you the expert guidance you'll need throughout your coursework. Frequent
contact with your FA is an integral part of the USSCM experience.
|
Expert Guidance
|
|
|
USSCM practice schedules thoroughly outline your level of involvement and
learning activity on a daily basis, leaving nothing to chance. Your advisor
is a professional musician and experienced teacher who will suggest one of
our proven schedules and encourage you to adhere to it.
|
Cost Benefits
|
|
|
For much less than the cost of a residential program, your USSCM program will
cover traditional and modern musical subjects in a way which cuts through to
essential matter, without the usual time-wasting side trips -

techniques ensure absorption of the material. USSCM courses emphasize music
creation, rather than mere theory, yet you will probably find USSCM courses
to be among the most comprehensive of any you may encounter.
