Depends what you want to learn! There are more than 18 courses on the site covering a range of musical topics. All of these are included in the $18 all-access subscription. Once you have subscribed, "The Joy of Jewish Spiritual Music" is the best place to start for musical inspiration. Here are a few more suggestions for where to get started:

Joey's Songbook, a brand-new collection on the site, is a comprehensive guide to Joey Weisenberg's songs and nigunim! Start here to explore videos, album recordings, sheet music, and commentary, with links to other courses on the site where you can learn the songs in depth.

Seven Songs to Sing is a musical launching pad for anyone who wants to sing — alone or in a group — but needs a little help picking songs. We've curated a wonderful collection of songs to get you going!

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."

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.

There is an expansive amount of material on the site that can be enjoyed without knowing how to read Hebrew or music. To fully engage with some of the more advanced courses for prayer leading, knowing how to read Hebrew is very helpful, particularly for navigating the prayerbook.. You can do everything on this site without reading music. But if you do know how to read music, we have sheet music in some courses, particularly in Joey's Songbook and the Mandolin course, and knowing how to read music is a bonus. Joey's courses are designed for beginners and experienced learners alike, with step-by-step guidance that makes learning accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Yes, absolutely! As soon as you do, you'll be able to access the library for the remainder of the month, and we'll be happy to welcome you back anytime. For related questions, you can always reach out to [email protected] for assistance.
