My Promise to You

These products are the result of my own experiences in my own lifetime of learning music.

I have a real curiosity about how music is made and learned. I have discovered much about music that I was never taught. That has given me a fresh perspective that I could not have gotten learning it from a class or a traditional music teacher.

Since music does not come easily to me, I feel I have insights into the learning process that "gifted" musicians do not have. I believe my books and tools can provide you new ways to learn your instrument. The goal is to get you playing better. That's what these products are designed to do.

It feels great to play well and I want you to experience that. When you are playing well, playing with friends is every bit as satisfying as performing.

Knowing how music is made is just one step toward discovering your own musical potential. Practice and commitment are just as important. It is my hope that my products help you achieve your musical goals.
