Power up your knowledge of music and orchestration with Interval Theory

Overachieving music composition.


How does Interval Theory work?

Picture music as telling an emotional story with intervals and notes instead of words. Some intervals want to jump to the next part (like resolutions or expansions), making the music exciting, while others are happy to stay where they are, making things calm.

This is what we learn about in Interval Theory—the natural behavior and characteristics of the intervals

Knowing this lets us control the music's story, making it go where we want, beyond just mixing chords or playing scales. We can surprise our listeners, create stories that stick, and make our music stand out as truly unique.

MITA has been a game-changer in the way I write music for commercials, trailers, television, and feature films. With tight deadlines, I always feel like I have a competitive edge over other writers!

Marc Aaron Jacobs - Composer for Media

MITA combines the best of two worlds, the Diatonic system, and the intervals. You are in total control of how much spice you want to add to your composition. This is simply the best method out there!

Marc Bercovitz - Award-winning Composer, Arranger & Orchestrator

Before MITA, my writing was very predictable, staying safe within the diatonic/ modal world which worked for me up to a point. But now, I write orchestral compositions I never knew I was capable of!

Rick Frost - Professional Bass Player & Composer

MITA gives me the tools and a bigger palette of compositional techniques that I can apply to any genre of music. It's like learning and perfecting a new and exciting language.

Vivian Khor - Grammy-nominated composer

Since starting my MITA training, I find myself finishing songs within 3-4 hours. Now, I really enjoy writing music every day. This is musical freedom!

Justin DiCenzo - Composer, Music Producer & Musician

MITA has pretty much eradicated writer’s block for me. The intervallic approach is unique, and it works! Highly recommended to everybody who is struggling with writer's block.

Robin Wade - Composer for Media

MITA offers a new and revolutionary perspective that allows composers to see music in a different way. If you are a composer, musician, or orchestrator, I highly recommend joining!

Miguel Coiz - Media Composer

MITA is much more than a music theory course. It's deeply practical and has transformed my creative process, how I think about music, and, of course, my results. I'm very happy to be a part of the MITA family.

Nathanael Iversen - Composer & Entrepreneur

MITA removes the confines of traditional Diatonic thinking thus freeing up the creative path. It has also given me the confidence to compose in any style and get great results much faster!

Gareth Prosser - Composer, Orchestrator, Arranger and Member of the Blue Man Group

MITA is a real gem to me. In simple words, it's the most efficient music generator and I use it on a daily basis!

Lorenzo Ferrero - Grammy Award Winning Jazz Musician & Composer

I composed 27 pieces in the last six months, thanks to the methodology taught inside the Academy! It has helped me a lot to discover and speak my own musical voice!

Olivier Bostvironnois - Professional Composer

In just a single week, MITA expanded my compositional knowledge beyond what I learned at my own tertiary institution- and continues to do so! It's such a unique way of writing musical ideas.

Leanne Puttick - Conducter & Composer

Guarantee

30 Days to go back to the musical world how you knew it!

  • We know that Interval Theory is not part of the conventional music theory, and most composers probably only have a vague idea of what it is (if at all).
  • That's why we don't expect anybody to trust the unknown blindly. We don't ask for your decision right now. All we ask for is your fully informed decision after you know what it is and how it works. You can only get to a fully informed decision on the inside, not the outside. So, please join now, go on the inside, and check if the applied Interval Theory is working and valuable to you, and if so, then you decide to stay.
  • If it's not for you, for whatever reasons, don't worry. After you've looked inside, you now can make a fully informed decision that it's not for you. But you can't make that decision right now for the same reasons you don't buy a sample library without checking out the demo tracks first.
  • And to be clear, whether it's 30 minutes or 30 days from now, if you're not happy, we're not happy. If you want your money back, for whatever reason, you'll get it because we don't want to keep it if you're not happy.
  • All you have to do is reply to any of our emails and tell us "give me a refund". That's all, and we'll refund you the full amount on the same day we receive your message.
  • Of course, we can only give such a strong guarantee because we're 100% confident that what you'll find inside is the real deal and will help you become the composer you want to be.
  • By the way, do you think the Music Interval Theory Academy would still be a flourishing institution after many years if we gave a strong guarantee and weren't exceptionally good at what we did?
