It's about time to revolutionize music composition with innovative Interval Theory techniques. We help composers create more expressive and meaningful music.


Most composers feel trapped in mediocre music!

In particular, they know that they write ordinary chord progressions and generic melodies. Conventional music theory pushes everybody towards the same mediocre sound and patterns!

  • ... they get stuck in generic and blocky chord progressions
  • ... they have no control over their musical results
  • ... they waste a lot of time only to sound like everybody else
  • ... they rely on luck and don't have any process to follow
  • ... they never build confidence in their skills

Let's change this! Imagine seeing your name on top of the score and others asking: "How the heck did he come up with that idea?" We believe you should be proud of your original work and feel good about it!

Our members don't struggle anymore ...

  • ... they generate more original musical ideas based on their unique taste
  • ... they save lots of hours during the day by skipping over the "hunting"-part
  • ... they finally understand the structure and architecture of their compositions
  • ... they develop real composition skills that work, and they can rely on
  • ... they feel great about finally getting complete control over harmonies and melodies

Don't be tricked into believing that most of the composers you admire are (or were) born geniuses. It's a fact that the vast majority of great composers are trained.


Listen to members' results!

Ready to experience the power of applied Interval Theory? Our playlist below features various compositions from academy members. Please take a few moments and dive in and discover how Interval Theory can improve the music you write. So, let's stop talking and start listening!

"If you struggle, it's not your fault".

We know what it feels like to spend hours or even days on just one piece of music, and still, it sounds generic and boring! :(

We've successfully taught innovative and unique composition techniques to (literally) hundreds of composers just like you.

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

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

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 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

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

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

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 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 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

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 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

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

Dive Into The Content

You can immediately walk into the halls of the Music Interval Theory Academy and start your studies today.

Rise Above The Crowd

The world doesn't need another Mozart! It needs YOU! Start telling your own and unique musical stories!


We've got you covered!

At MITA, we know you are the kind of composer who wants to be more original, break out of the usual clichées, and maybe even inspire others. In order to be that way, you need to understand the connection between the tones and the intervals they create because, eventually, you want to use this knowledge in your original compositions. We know you want to be in total control and remove the guessing part that makes you feel insecure.


The problem is that conventional theory doesn't get you there!

However, we believe that every composer should have access to all the puzzle pieces to build his musical dream life. This is fundamentally important, and we understand the frustration many composers go through, and it's not their fault!


That's why we teach a transparent methodology and proven concepts that lead to great results! Here's how it works:

Join MITA today, so you can stop wasting your time waiting for inspiration and hunting for ideas. Stop the musical frustration and start rising above the generic sound of everybody else.

You also might have wondered ...

I'm not sure if MITA is right for me. Are there any requirements?

The offer sounds intriguing, but what happens if I'm not happy?

I know the Diatonic system quite well. What can MITA teach me then?

1 Month Pass

The Interval Theory Core Program (paid monthly)

We want you to reach your musical goals as quickly as possible, and that's why the members love the Core Program!

Your First 10 Days

The first item we suggest you dive into inside the Academy is

"Your First 10 Days To Rapidly Growing Your Composition Skills".

That's a convenient daily plan of action that suggests various content pieces and leads to great results quickly. With as little as 20-30 minutes per day, this guide shows what to do and leads to quick results. It suggests three sections for each day:

1. Critical (~ 20-30 min.)
2. Recommended (~ 20-50 min.)
3. Optional (~ 30-60 min.)

If you only have a little time, prioritize the critical section and study the other parts later. Our guide fits perfectly into busy schedules and allows for significant progress next to your day job or other duties.

And if you have more time available, you'll get out of this plan even stronger!

The Interval Theory Basic Course

Finding your way from conventional Diatonic theory to Interval Theory is easy. The Interval Theory Basic Course covers everything to help you compose with the intervals right away and provides a smooth transition into all following content pieces.

Learn more about the Interval Theory Basic Course.

Spotlight Classes

Most often, it's just one tiny puzzle piece that causes a ton of friction in the musical workflow. The spotlight courses are designed to fill those gaps efficiently using best practices based on Interval Theory. Think about how much time you've spent focusing on just one small detail only to find out that you've wasted half of your day with no real musical result. Let's end this today.

Learn more about the Spotlight Classes & Courses.

The Interval Theory Composition Course

Here's the truth: To reach your musical dream life, you need to invest your time, effort, and focus. And that's the only proven way to get past this musical plateau that you've been on for long enough.

To help you maximize your results and master this comprehensive value source, you'll get one lesson (video explanation, PDFs, audio, and support for the implementation) per month via MITA Coins.

Learn more about the Interval Theory Composition Course.

Orchestration Concepts

Wouldn't it be great if you could base your decision-making in orchestration on clear concepts and guidelines as opposed to reading 400 pages about 'what you can do with the strings'?

It's all about the delicate dance of practical knowledge that really works and your unique voice and musical taste! Find out what it is that you like in a particular orchestration so that you can express yourself most honestly without copying other composers.

Learn more about the Orchestration Concepts.

Weekly Quick Wins

Although we help you pursue your long-term goals, quick wins are essential to staying motivated and having fun. Every week we give you one quick implementation tip that you can use right away. So, even if you can't seriously study Interval Theory at the moment, you'll still get closer to your big goal!

And we'll even send you those quick wins directly to your email inbox because we understand that time is your most precious resource.

This tier gives you immediate access to all the existing and future content, including all events and bonuses!

All Courses & Classes

You'll get the whole package and immediate access to all of the Academy's content! You'll be able to jump directly into all the courses & classes, skip the Coins system, and start implementing Interval Theory right away. Here are some of the highlights you'll get:

Basic Course

Composition Course

Orchestration Concepts

Spotlight Classes & Courses

You'll also get unrestricted access to all the other items listed below for the monthly/yearly membership, including all the great bonuses. It's really the full package!

1-on-1 Video Sessions

All the teaching materials come with pre-recorded videos and downloadable PDFs and MP3s so that you can go through the courses at your own pace.

But your Lifetime Access Pass also offers the opportunity to have weekly 1-on-1 video sessions with TC or Frank, the Music Interval Theory Academy co-founders and course authors (Q&A, feedback sessions, etc.) at no additional cost.

These sessions will help you implement the concepts and techniques most efficiently and quickly. You'll get the time and attention needed to make significant headway on your composition skillset.

Lifetime Access

Your MITA account will never expire, and you'll enjoy lifetime access to all the content, including all future content, at no additional cost or conditions.

This is the all-inclusive tier for the committed composer who values his time and wants to apply interval theory best practices to her/his compositions.

Our Experience with Conventional Music Education

The costs for traditional music education can quickly go up to 20,000.00 EUR or more (per year only), depending on the institution, even when taking online classes only. 

Our experience as pro composers who also went through the conventional way of learning first shows that the whole model of music education is old-fashioned and rusty.

Please don't get us wrong. Understanding the basics of music theory is essential before you go deeper into more advanced techniques. And we'll even provide that FOR FREE in the Interval Theory Toolkit! (coming soon, please stay connected and hop on the email list if you're interested in that)

During our studies at music university, we spent most of our time analyzing classical composers, which only taught us how to write in those composers' styles. The truth is that nobody ever will hire you to write like Mozart or Bach! This knowledge won't let you survive if you want to become a working composer in the industry.

Instead, music theory should teach you how to become the most elegant and efficient musical storyteller you can be, all based on your unique voice and for an affordable investment.

And that's exactly what we focus on inside the Academy!

Upgrade Option

We fully understand that you might not feel ready to go with the Lifetime Access Pass before you've seen what's happening inside the Academy - and that's totally ok!

And that's why we offer an upgrade option from monthly and yearly.

Simply contact our office inside the Academy, and we'll set you up. This way, you make a fully-informed decision and don't have to take any financial risks.

One-time payment: 7,900

All Member Bonuses are Included

As with all the courses and classes, you'll get full access to all the valuable member bonuses that come with the monthly and yearly membership! It's the all-inclusive package!

Your data is secure and protected.

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?

It's really ok if you're not feeling ready to join. We still want to help you become the best composer possible, so we don't want you to miss the Composer's Toolkit!
