Janek Gwizdala Shares His Complete Method for Transcribing Music
Janek Gwizdala has added a new volume to his instructional books with How to Transcribe: Methodology and Ear Training for Every Musician. The 167-page book promises to improve your overall musicianship by teaching you how to listen, recognize what you’re hearing, apply concepts, and internalize the music.
“Transcription is the single most powerful way to train your ear and unlock your musicianship,” the book description states. “This book is more than a manual, it’s a complete system for learning how to listen deeply, recognize musical language, and translate sound directly to your instrument. Drawing on over 30 years of professional transcription experience, Janek shares both the methodology and the mindset that will help any musician—beginner to advanced—bridge the gap between hearing and playing.”
The book also comes with an interactive learning package that includes 180 audio tracks, a video masterclass, audio quizzes, curated playlists, and dozens of challenges to put you to the test.
Janek Gwizdala’s How to Transcribe is available now in paperback or digital.
