MUSIC EDUCATOR
I CREATED A BREAKTHROUGH PLAYING-BASED MUSIC EDUCATION METHOD THAT’S A CODIFICATION OF THE WAY THAT MUSIC OCCURRED TO ME AS A VERY YOUNG CHILD. WE’VE NOW EMERGED AS A GLOBAL LEADER IN OUR FIELD.
By 3 or 4 years of age I would hear music and picture it, in my mind’s eye, in terms of shapes and patterns. I discovered as an adult that I could explain this to people in a way that would allow them to see music as I do. And, as a result of that, I discovered that this perspective could transform how quickly and easily people were able to learn how to play great-sounding music.
Over a period of decades I developed this perspective into a structured and comprehensive music education curriculum. I also codified it into a system of training educators how to teach my method. We’re now approaching our 25th year, and it’s been a remarkable journey.
My organization, Simply Music, now has over 700 Licensed Educators across 12 countries. We also offer world-class education via our online, self-study program, and have a student community across 135 countries. You can find out more here: simplymusic.com

“We’re a global pioneer in playing-based music education. Our underlying premise is that all human beings are profoundly musical. As such, our programs are designed to impact populations of people. Our focus is to cause a breakthrough in access to musical self-expression, and elevate the creative capability of humanity.”
