A Method that is vastly unique?

[m1469]

I am curious if you have ever run across a way of studying music theory that is vastly different than starting with learning about a pitch, counting whole steps and half steps above that pitch to form an interval and then a chord, bridging into scales, and then basically showing how those notes, intervals, chords, and scales interact with time/rhythm and typically function in examples of known music, and then giving those functions names (college level courses)?

For example, I am browsing around the internet, looking for something truly unique.  In my browsing I ran across what I posted below.  He claims to be teaching in a different, more simplified and direct way, but I don't feel very convinced that, if I bought this, I would be learning anything truly new (or that I would see what already exists in a truly new light).  In perusing his site, I don't find anything that is truly defining about his methods.  Perhaps he is just keeping his secrets?  Or, is everything out there basically the same?

What about learning how to hear before ever playing a note?  This is radically different than what is mostly taught.

Well, do you basically mean Suzuki, or the Aural Skills version of Music Theory?  My question would be, "hear what, precisely?"

I only skimmed the video.  (But it says, "Hi Bob!" so that's a plus.) 

Just another sales video.  I didn't really watch it, but that's what I see.  What I hear is a lot of audio noise... low production?


The most interesting thing I've seen for teaching music is using music sequencing software to teach composition.  It can get around a student needing to know anything about music notation.
