“My compositions followed all the rules… but they didn’t sound like me.”
"For years, I tried to write music that was original—but I kept ending up with the same predictable progressions.
Then, I discovered a magical way to think: building music from intervals, not just chords or scales.
Suddenly, everything opened up. I could write faster, more freely, and for the first time … the music felt like mine.
That moment sparked the creation of the Music Interval Theory Academy (MITA)—where composers like you learn the intuitive techniques that unlock your true creative voice."
- Frank, co-founder of MITA
What our members say
"Listening to the compositions of other students immediately made me realize, that’s what I was missing—a new way of thinking about music.
It wasn’t about breaking the rules, but creating with a new set of rules, and it completely changed how I approached composition."
Rick Frost - Musician & Composer
"One of the most rewarding parts of MITA for me has been the orchestration course. The wealth of information it provides is incredible, and it’s helped me focus on the kind of orchestral writing I’ve always wanted to explore."
Shane Jensen - Music Director & Composer
What We Believe
At MITA, we believe music should be free — not boxed in by rules that kill your voice.
We stand for bold creativity, meaningful storytelling, and techniques that unlock your unique sound.
We fight generic, soulless music and empower composers to write with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Together, we’re the Circle of Interval Magicians — sharing ideas, growing stronger, and making music that truly stands out.
Let's look at some Statistics
We've been tracking the numbers from the beginning (2015) until the current year,
and here are some of the statistics we want to share with you:
"I wanted to understand why certain music feels so fluid."
"What drew me to MITA was a desire to understand why certain music feels so fluid—like in a cartoon or action scene where everything just flows seamlessly.
MITA gave me a new perspective, tying harmonic principles and patterns to a fresh, interval-based approach. It complemented my existing knowledge and gave me new creative capabilities."
Mike Caral - Composer
"MITA has been a transformative experience for me!"
"As a songwriter, I never needed much instrumental development, but now, using interval-based techniques, I’ve been able to compose entire musical pieces that stand on their own or enhance my songs as intros or bridges.
I’m so glad to be part of MITA—it’s been a transformative experience for me!"
Luz María Fry - Songwriter & Composer
The 3-Step Process
Turning your musical ideas into reality takes more than just inspiration—it takes awareness and a clear sense of how you create. Take a moment: Do you follow a repeatable process when you compose?
If not—no worries. Most composers don’t… at least not consciously.
But here’s the truth: Every artist already follows patterns.
A painter might start by choosing colors.
An author might collect ideas from real life.
And a composer? Maybe you hear a rhythm, sketch a title, or explore a mood before you write a single note. The moment you start recognizing these steps, something shifts:
You gain clarity, direction, and confidence in your unique creative path.
At MITA, we believe in guiding composers to uncover their own hidden process—and then build on it with tools that bring structure, freedom, and flow.
Below, you’ll find the 3-Step Process we use every day to stay creative and focused.
It’s simple, flexible, and built to support the way you think.
Gathering
We begin by gathering raw materials—musical fragments, rhythms, intervals, colors, textures... anything that sparks a feeling or idea.
No need to judge or overthink at this stage.
We stay open, let inspiration flow, and collect whatever calls to us.
These early ingredients form the foundation of your story—helping your music stay clear, consistent, and connected as it grows.
Sketching
Now it’s time to play with the pieces—like putting together a puzzle. We try different combinations and see what takes shape.
This stage isn’t about perfection.
It’s about seeing the big picture: How ideas connect, where the energy flows, and what the music wants to say.
A simple sketch—built from rough melodies, basic vertical shapes, and emotional moments—becomes your map for the story ahead.
Developing
With the shape of the piece in place, now we tickle out the magic, and bring it to life.
This is where you fine-tune the mood, energy, and emotional impact—through arrangement, orchestration, and creative choices that reflect your voice.
It’s not just editing—it’s elevating.
You’re weaving together skill and intuition to transform your sketch into a complete, compelling musical story.
"One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned through MITA is how to find my unique voice in composition. So many programs focus on mimicking great composers, but MITA is different.
Through MITA, I’ve discovered chord structures and sounds I never would have found using traditional diatonic methods."
Sharon West - Engineer & Composer
"Each lesson gives you musical vocabulary and also shows you how to use it in a clear and structured way.
With MITA, I have full control over my compositions. And I realized that I'm able to write very quickly."
Dan Selsick - Musician & Composer

"With their three-step process—gathering, sketching, and orchestrating—I always have a clear starting point and a roadmap to follow. This systematic approach to creativity has been invaluable and well worth the membership.
In fact, I love the program so much I bought a lifetime membership."
John Isley - Musician & Composer
"MITA gave me the tools to move beyond traditional music theory."
"Joining MITA completely transformed my approach to composition. I learned to internalize the sound of intervals, like a painter understands colors, which helped me develop my own unique musical voice. MITA gave me the tools to move beyond traditional music theory and understand modern composers like Stravinsky and Ravel in a new way.
I also found a supportive community of composers who share the same passion for learning and growth.
If you want to take your music to the next level and create something truly personal, I can’t recommend MITA enough."
Olivier Bostvironnois - Composer & Mixing Engineer
