A music teacher who actually knows your kid.
Most music "courses" are a wall of videos and a good-luck. Here, your kid sends me their real work and I tell them exactly how to make it better, one on one. I'm a working musician with a PhD, and I answer them myself.
A quick note from me.
Hi, I'm Dr. J. I've taught music to more than a million people online, and I have a PhD to prove I overdid it.
Here's what homeschooling parents keep telling me: music is the subject they most want to give their kids, and the one they feel least able to teach themselves. So don't. That part is my job. Your kid follows a real curriculum at their own pace, sends me what they make, and I tell them how to make it better. When they get stuck, they can actually talk to me.
That last part is the whole reason this works. A video library can hand your kid information. It can't listen to their song and care whether it gets finished. I can.

A course library
- A pile of videos and a search bar
- No one to ask when your kid is stuck
- Nobody ever hears what your kid makes
- A chatbot, if you're lucky
- You hope some of it sticks

The path your kid follows.
Each step builds on the last, the way a real curriculum should. They move at their own pace, and I'm there at every stage.
- 1
Read and understand music
Notes, rhythm, keys, and chords, taught from absolute zero. The theory that makes everything after it make sense.
- 2
Write their own songs
Melody, harmony, and structure. They stop copying and start composing ideas that are theirs.
- 3
Produce and record it
Make it real on a computer, with actual track sessions and downloadable stems to learn on.
- 4
Finish and share it
Monthly challenges and my feedback turn "someday" into a finished piece they're proud of.
What it costs to have a real teacher.
Less than a single hour with a private instructor, and it includes every lesson, the community, the monthly challenges, and time with me. Annual is $99.99 (save 44%), or $449 once for lifetime.

The things parents actually ask.
Do I really get time with you, or is that marketing?
Real time. You get my feedback on your kid's work, answers to their questions, and 1-on-1 sessions. That is the point of the whole thing, not a bonus tier.
Does my kid need any music background?
None at all. It starts at the very beginning, reading notes and counting rhythm, and builds up from there. Complete beginners are exactly who it's built for.
Do I have to teach it myself?
No. I do the teaching. Your job is to hand over the login and check in now and then. It's self-paced, so there's no schedule to keep or lesson to prep. Younger kids do best with a parent nearby to help them stay on track.
What happens after the free trial?
If it's a fit, it's $14.99 a month, or less on the annual and lifetime plans. If it isn't, cancel before day 15 and you're never charged a cent.
Give your kid a teacher, not a playlist.
Fifteen days free. Send me their first song and watch what happens.
