“Ever Find Yourself Asking…”
“Why am I not getting better, even though I’m practising?”
“Why does it feel like I’m playing the notes but not really making music?”
You’re not alone.
Many adult musicians — especially those returning to music later in life — hit a frustrating plateau.
- You’re committed.
- You love music.
- You’re willing to practise…
But something’s not clicking. This week is designed to change that.
is all you’ll pay
🎶 What Is The Danny Boy Breakthrough?
This is not a challenge.
Not a course.
Not a “just press play” video series.
This is a guided, human, interactive coaching experience built around one iconic piece of music: Danny Boy.
Over 7 days, you’ll:
Learn how to play it (on your instrument, at your level)
Understand how to structure your practice.
And experience real, measurable progress — maybe for the first time in years
💡 Here’s What You’ll Gain
🎶 Learn to play all or part of Danny Boy
🧠 Discover how to practise in a way that’s calm, mindful, and efficient
✨ Build momentum and confidence you can feel
💬 Receive expert guidance — without overwhelm or judgment
🔍 What Makes This Different?
Most lessons teach you what to play.
Very few teach you how to actually get better.
This week uses the Play Music Better Method — a gentle, structured system created especially for adult learners. It blends:
⦿ Mindful attention
⦿ Step-by-step progress
⦿ Realistic, supportive pacing
You’ll learn tools you can use for the rest of your musical life — on any piece, at any level.
What’s Included
✔️ 6 Live Zoom Lessons (replays available)
✔️ Printable Practice Manual with daily steps
✔️ Play-Along Accompaniment Track
✔️ Encouragement from Fiona + a supportive group
✔️ Access to all recordings for extra flexibility
All you need is a device for Zoom, your instrument, and an open mind.
👥 Who This Is For

✔ Self-taught musicians wanting structure
✔ Learner’s ready to build confidence
✔ Players of any instrument

Meet Your Coach
The musician behind the Learn Music Together Academy. I help adults who are learning to play a musical instrument practice in a better way and play with confidence.
For over 20 years, I’ve been teaching music. I am an examiner for Trinity College London and a sought after adjudicator who currently lives in Brunei.
I can’t wait to share my knowledge, so I hope you’ll join me.
“Every time we do one of these one week focus sessions, whether on our own pieces or Danny Boy, I find I go back to basics and go deeper. So many takeaways and great reminders.”
Kim is a grade 8 violinist and section leader of her local orchestra.
“Biggest takeaway – you should be able to learn a new piece in one to two weeks. I am looking forward to moving away from my no pain no gain mindset, and finding my flow. Great week!.”
Paul is a singersong writer, who once played bass in a band, but that was many moons ago.
“Using the techniques in the way they were explained absolutely takes the dreaded fear of “Oh! I’m coming to the bar I always mess up!” I’m so excited because it will shorten the time it takes to learn. Thank you for such an invaluable class. I highly recommend this week for all who want to learn how to practice smarter and better.”
Sharon is brass band player who is learning both the trumpet and horn.
“Three takeaways from the Coaching Week
- Fiona’s insightful teaching
- Everyone sharing so much that the community was positively buzzing
- Learning how to slow down the way I practice”
Sharon is brass band player who is learning both the trumpet and horn.
I am so motivated to adhere to this guidance now. I learnt this piece in one week using the methods from this masterclass!”
Avril is a harp player from Manchester. 3 years ago when she first did this coaching week, she was a beginner. Now she is about to give her first 30 minute solo recital. Join the coaching and you’ll meet her.
If you’ve got questions, I’ve got answers 😀
How much time will it take each day?
I know time is important, but so is investing in yourself and your playing. The live teaching sessions will be 30 minutes, and you will be able to practice along. Other sessions will vary in length, but I promise they’ll be full of tips and you can always catch the replay if necessary.
How long do I get access to the replay?
I want you to take action, so the replay’s will be available till March 4th. After that time they will only be available to members of the Learn Music Together Academy.

How hard is the music?
The parts are not too challenging, you should manage if you have a few months experience. If you are a more advanced player, you will still learn a lot about improving your practice methods, and strengthening your musical foundations.
I struggle with technology will I manage?
You will need a basic level of computer skills. If you are unfamiliar with Zoom I do have an easy to follow guide to follow.
Do I need to be able to read music?
There are guitar and ukulele tabs available as well as a wide range of sheet music for other instruments. Please note that the lessons are probably not suited to those who only want to play by ear.
Do you offer refunds?
There are no refunds for Danny Boy Coaching week, and here’s why:
- I share an enormous amount in the masterclass for $27
- It’s extremely low-risk, and the cost is considerably lower than private tuition.
- Months and months of work have gone into this offer (actually years!)
- I want you to stand behind your own buying decision and really absorb everything that my effective practice techniques have to offer.
I still have a question- How can I get in touch?
No problem, please send an email to fiona@learnmusictogether.com and I’ll be happy to answer any questions that you have.
