This institute is designed to mentor and support the careers and educations of gifted young instrumentalists, composers, and songwriters. Sound Formation works with students of all genres and specializes in making musicians stand out from their peers due to the emphasis on musical feel, the physicality of music (technique, rhythmic perception), and advanced rhythmic and harmonic abilities.
Mentorships for High School Students, College Students, and Alumni
Pre-college training includes preparing for success at college, e.g. acceptance, scholarships, and testing into the best classes or testing out of some required classes. We offer in-college mentorship and tutoring for students that need support due to learning differences like dyslexia, otherwise need support in their studies, or would like career guidance. The Sound Formation Mentorship Program is also for college graduates that now need career support and direction and further training in advancing their musicianship.

Liangong and Movement Training
Liangong is a phenomenal practice for enhancing rhythmic perception and fixing postural alignment and biomechanics. Madigan is a Certified Liangong Practitioner and has helped numerous musicians with a variety of issues. Students and professionals can also get help in enhancing their instrumental technique and groove by training their movement abilities.
Music Resources for Dyslexic Students
Reading music can be as challenging as reading text because they are both symbolic rather than visual-spatial systems. Dyslexic music students can excel when given the proper resources such as Sound Formation Method™ workbooks.
Rhythm Theory Course Development for Colleges and Universities
Madigan has created rhythm theory courses that can be directly customized and instituted at your college or university. Discover the materials and classes that your students have been wanting and waiting for now.
Ear Training Assessments and Consultations
The best musicians hear the best and the SFM has new ways of organizing your hearing so you can immediately identify and perform every layer occurring in a piece of music whether a drum part, bass, vocal, or harmony. We also help aspiring musicians identify and overcome weaknesses in their hearing and where their strengths are including testing for perfect pitch, absolute pitch, dominant zones of hearing, and perfect rhythm. We can then consult you on the best practices and strategy for advancing your musicianship.
