Depends what you want to learn! There are more than a dozen different courses on the site covering a range of musical topics. All of the are included in the $18 all-access subscription. Here are a few suggestions for places to get started...

In the realm of prayer leading, the Rising Daveners course is a wonderful starting point. It was designed for b’nei mitzvah students and aspiring prayer leaders of all ages.  

For beginner musicians, the Guitar Basics course is the place to begin! There you can learn essential chords and concepts of Jewish roots music for guitar, and start to play communal favorites like “Lincoln’s Nigun.” Joey’s patient teaching method, gleaned from years of experience as a teacher, helps you to understand not just where to put your fingers, but how the music is working!

If you’re not ready to delve into guitar playing and would rather start exploring this music with your voice, try the opening chapter of the Art of the Nigun series, where Joey sings and teaches 18 beautiful melodies, explaining the tunes’ origins and uses. This series is a great chance to revisit some of Joey’s most beloved nigunim and to discover older melodies from Hasidic tradition, to get a foundational understanding of how this music works, and to begin to use melody as a spiritual practice on your own and in communal contexts.
