Andrei Cristof
I purchased Dan's Ear Training course after noticing his incredible skill and excellent breakdowns on instagram.
I was searching for a thorough course. Tbh, I need structure. That's how my brain works. And this course delivers beautifully.
I like that it starts by getting into the most important part, intervals. This is the real deal, there's no way around learning them properly. I also really liked the quizzes. They give you a sense of "this is what I should know really well". Why don't all courses do this?!
After finishing it, I realized I have a ton of work to do, to apply all the concepts. But there's a huge difference - now I know exactly what I need to do, methodically, step by step.

I’m feeling great about the course, I’ve had a few “ah ha!” moments along the way due to your explanations, love the song references to the intervals! I’ve tried a ton of different learning tools with and without instructors. What I found is most instructors throw a ton of material at you and stress memorizing the fretboard notes which gets mundane and leads nowhere, and DIY courses lack good explanations of what is what and why regarding music theory. I feel your course is building a foundation for me to go to the next logical step, your explanation of melody building after covering the intervals is the perfect example. I was already aware of most of the intervals and triads, however I never connected intervals with melody building until you showed it to me.
I love the course, along with your passion, very well done!
John Brown
I have to say, the way you breakdown popular music is truly incredible. Songs I've heard a million times...I'm now listening to a million and one to hear the brilliance. Love what you're doing and you're without question an incredible musician who I admire!

I've never seen somebody actually teach with EMOTION. I feel the excitement and passion in your teaching. You're the best example I've encountered when I think about music appreciation. Finally somebody I can relate to that successfully translates appreciation. Your mixture of banter, theory, skills, and time management is pure gold!

I gotta say, I've been a metal fan since 1999, been around instruments, in a band, musicians since then; and I don't think I've ever enjoyed and benefited from someone breaking down music as yourself.
After the Course, You’ll Be Able To:
- Hear intervals and melodic patterns
- Understand rhythm and timing with more confidence
- Recognize chord movement and structure
- Learn songs faster — without relying on tabs
- Write and arrange music with more intention
Music will stop feeling mysterious and start feeling familiar.

What You’ll Learn
TUNE
Melody & Pitch
Train your ear to recognize melodic movement using familiar songs. You’ll start identifying intervals by sound and noticing melodic shapes like up, down, skips, and repeats. Melody becomes clearer and more meaningful, and you start hearing intention rather than just notes.
TIME
Rhythm & Flow
Rhythm becomes something you feel rather than compute. You’ll learn to hear subdivisions, recognize grooves and time signatures, and understand how patterns lock together. You’ll also begin sensing song structure and flow more naturally so rhythm feels intuitive and alive in your body.
TEXTURE
Harmony & Color
Understand how harmony creates emotion in music. You’ll learn to hear chord movement, scales, tonal color, and common progressions, and notice how they shape a song’s mood and momentum. Harmony becomes recognizable and expressive — something you can hear, follow, and understand.
About Dan Barracuda
I’m a music producer/mixer, guitarist, and song breakdown artist who’s helped thousands of people deepen their understanding of music. I’ve worked with over 200 artists and built a 50M+ stream catalog - but none of that would’ve happened without a solid musical ear.
My short-form breakdowns have reached over 50 million views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, where I teach musicians how to hear what’s really happening in the songs they love.
Now I’m showing you how to develop your ear - faster than I did - using the Rock & Pop music we love. Helping others connect more deeply with music has become one of the most meaningful parts of my work.
