Our special guest for today is Christopher Sutton, owner and director of UK-based Easy Ear Training Ltd. a London-based music education technology company. Their leading product is Musical U, a membership site providing comprehensive and fully-supported training for the “inner skills” of musicianship.
Originally trained as a computer scientist, he specialized in developing music-related software for desktop and mobile with the goal of creating cutting-edge training tools to help musicians develop their ears for music.

What You’ll Learn
