SOME FAR TOO COMMON IDEAS
about music and
what being a musician means...

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, BEING ABLE TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT IS NOT ESSENTIAL EITHER!
Your Coach will perform the piece on the piano ON YOUR BEHALF during the entire session and as many times as you need, so that you can understand your own musical ideas better as well as their huge potential.

This way you will have full control over the piece, should you feel any note/value needs to be changed to better suit your tastes.

I don’t have any ideas/creativeness...

Everyone has ideas, but few are aware of that and even less have the courage to express them, maybe because they don’t feel adequate or maybe they just hold themselves back. And we all are surrounded by music, we all can understand music, that means we all have music inside!

Those who think they don’t have any ideas, DON’T KNOW HOW TO ACCESS THEIR OWN CREATIVITY! That's all.

Neuroscientists state that those who say they never dream are simple unaware of their dreams... Ideas are exactly like those dreams we are not aware of!

In fact, believing that we don’t have ideas would be just like thinking there is no fish in the sea, simply because we can’t see anything on the surface... Fishing provides evidence that fish is there though!

So, if you get stuck, it will be your Brainarm Coach's job to make you aware of the fish, as the method he uses here allows a natural flow of notes to express your inner self. 

Therefore, all you will have to do to find your ideas is freely improvise on the keyboard and answer those questions the Brainarm Coach's will ask you in order to get to know your musical intentions. Then you will be guided through the process of refinement and development of the idea itself. Nothing esoteric then, but rather a scientific technique!

Our experience shows that if you love music and wish to compose you can ALREADY COMPOSE!

My ideas are not original/interesting. Will I get any suggestions?

Full Compositional Coaching means that the Coach will be a guide and executer, nothing more, so as to help refine your own ideas WITHOUT AFFECTING YOUR ARTISTIC DECISIONS or INFLUENCING YOU IN ANY WAY.

You will be the brain, he will only be the hands and your “musical conscience”.

Consider this: there is no such things as ideas that can’t be improved to some extent. From this, your Coach will help you to reason on your own creativity, stimulating inside of you the research of various possible solutions so as to refine these in an independent artistic manner to get to a high quality piece.

Will it really be high-level music if I am not a musician? I’m not even able to catch a tune!

Actually, you ARE already a musician, despite unaware and our mission is making people realise that by “seeing” their music coming out!

This is absolutely real since what was considered as impossible is now fully available to everyone, thanks to the “human interface” / “USB-man” concept! Being allowed to experience a much higher level of musical expression than if trying composing on your own (and that straightaway at the very first session) is a wonderful and exciting experience that everyone should try at least once in their life.

The level you can reach can vary based on the style you choose, your age, sensitivity and tastes, but it is definitely much higher than the one you could reach by composing without a coach. Unlike the music you might be able to compose with your own limited technical skills, the music that comes out from this synergy is more coherent and most of all it is YOUR REAL MUSIC!

This is true because we assure that our service is provided in a way that grants top quality, regardless of the genre/style you choose, regardless of your age, education, etc.

Test the effectiveness of Brainarm to see how much higher you can fly with it!

Now, what about those who believe they are TONE-DEAF? According to scientists a real out-of-tune-person DOES NOT EXIST! Rather, there are many people whose musical ear potential has been repressed by others, that have made them reach the conclusion of being out-of-tune where the problem was just lack of training!

Furthermore shyness and low self esteem can paralyse voice and ear... But this neither means that those people's music is dead or that they cannot develop their aural skills! Also, music is much more than just sounds... and we still get surprised when we see how ideas always finds a way to structure themselves in a different manner, other than the traditional ones, like cactuses adapt themselves to grow in a desert. This music would definitely sound more experimental or even bizarre!

So if this is your case then you can still compose music via the Brainarm without problems as of now.

But if you still think that the problem is your ear, then ask for advice to an expert otolaryngologist and he will tell you that the small number of people that can be considered true out-of-tune-people have actually suffered from a specific brain trauma... Let’s hope this isn’t your case!

However, even if it is your case, very likely you can still compose experimental music. WILL IS POWER!

Anyway, remember that we will refund anyone who is unsuccessful and since 2011 nearly one hundred people have tried Brainarm with 100% of them being successful; so we are sure you will, too. Nothing to lose then!

Will I learn anything or even become a composer?

If you have never studied music, via Brainarm you will LEARN THEORY BASICS (notes reading and rhythm) starting from music-making rather than by studying it. Brainarm will also help you DEVELOP YOUR AURAL AND MUSICAL SKILLS as well as allowing you a peep into the deep and top aspects of composition (e.g. a better understanding of how harmony, counterpoint and form work), which would be impossible otherwise without having studied for years and years.

If you are a music student (either a beginner or an advanced) you can use the Brainarm as a way to IMPROVE your theory, musical and aural skills and to review those elements with much more fun than doing it on the books allows...

In either cases, you will discover your deepest music! You will FLY HIGH AND TOUCH THE SKY, something that only professionals can do!

Of course, if you want to learn to compose independently it is necessary that you enrol for a compositional course, but then you need to honestly ask yourself if are willing to take the needed time to study the subject and, obviously, you have to be able already to play the instrument at good level.

Why composing? Then what would do I do with my music?

Not only composing music is very satisfying but also it has innumerable benefits on HEALTH, EMOTIONS and SOCIAL LIFE.

Several studies have highlighted that making music:

- boosts the immune system

- lowers blood pressure

- helps with pain managing and stress relief

- contrasts brain ageing and improves memory

- increases neural connections in those areas of the brain that regulate emotional processing and the integration of information

- helps with anxiety

- improves self-esteem.

Those are only few of many benefits. (More information can be found online and on the Medical News Today website.

Apart from that, your music is great and deserves to be PUBLISHED and LISTENED to a WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE. To get to that point, here below we explain the procedure we will follow.

First of all we will HAVE YOUR MANUSCRIPT TIMESTAMPED to avoid possible plagiarism. 

Then, you can request the ENGRAVING SERVICE that allows you to have your music COPIED IN DIGITAL FORMAT by one of OUR COPYISTS, and PUBLISHED on this website to be downloaded for free. Then it might be PERFORMED BY OUR PROFESSIONAL PIANISTS around the world or by the Brainarm Coach himself. Notice that we only hire highly qualified professionals to do this job.

Alternatively or in addition, you can request that your music be RECORDED.

Then you can have your music DISTRIBUTED so that it will feature on iTunes, Spotify and other several other online platforms for sale. Royalties will be yours.

Now have a look to the MUSIC page, where some music score have already been published and available to be downloaded for free. Also, there you can listen to some recordings. Would you like your own music to be published there too?

 It’s all too good to be true! Will sessions be in-presence or online? And when will session become available?

Once our service is ready, the sessions will be held ONLINE via Zoom or in presence at your choice. Unfortunately, we do not have a date yet for when sessions will become available. However, you can GET IN TOUCH to get updates.

How old should I be for Brainarm to work?

Although there have been some exception so far - the youngest was a 4 years old girl (and BTW she was not a genius) - being 7 or older is ideal for brainarming, since some of the intellectual ability needed are essential. There have been several brainarmers who were 6 and some who were 5 years old though. 4 years old can also brainarm if they are particularly smart and can pay attention to the coach, even for a short time.

By the way, here below is a piece composed by little Camille Masson in 2014, a non-musician girl that was only 6 y.o.

There is no maximum age limit, and old age is definitely not a problem for Brainarm. It can even be very beneficial for the brain.
