The day also introduces foundational musical material and simple shared songs that become creative launchpads for the week ahead.

Exploring the emotional and expressive musos (Types 2, 3, 4). Focus on feeling, storytelling, performance, authenticity, and emotional connection through music and creative exercises.
Participants explore ideas such as musical identity, emotional expression, creativity, performance energy, and the role of feeling in music-making.
Afternoon Jam Focus
Mood, expression, storytelling, and emotional communication through collaborative music-making.
DAY 3: Mind Intelligence
Exploring the curious and inventive musos (Types 5, 6, 7). Musical puzzles, rhythm games, improvisation, pattern recognition, creativity hacks, and playful approaches to theory and learning.

DAY 4: Body Intelligence
Exploring the instinctive and grounded musos (Types 8, 9, 1). Rhythm, embodiment, groove, leadership, ritual, confidence, and sustainable creative practice.

COURSE TUTOR
Corrie Wade
Corrie Wade is a cross-disciplinary educator, musician, and eternal student who has followed his passions across the globe — from studying Flamenco in Spain to learning Cuban drumming, dancing Tango in Argentina, and teaching on a frozen lake beneath Mt Fuji. His love of learning has led him through an ever-expanding web of disciplines: mathematics, music theory, sacred geometry, dance, Enneagram, spirituality, and coaching — all blending into his creative work today.
At the heart of Corrie’s approach is a simple joy: helping others experience their own “aha” moments. His journey through so many interconnected fields inspired him to create the 9 Doors to Musical Mastery — a playful, holistic, and highly original framework that empowers students of all backgrounds to unlock their own creative pathways, no matter where they’re starting from.
“The course exceeded my expectations primarily due to the tutor, Corrie Wade, who was most personable, knowledgeable, considerate, supportive, encouraging and talented.”
“Corrie Wade was an excellent leader. The group was quite big for the type of work we were doing, everyone’s contributions were honoured and the course content was very interesting, now requiring more study but a great starting point. ”
