the human elements of music and real performance.
We believe education is crucial for musicians to reach their highest potential. Our broad presence in
colleges and universities and our free online music courses attest to this.
We truly want to spread the joy of creating music with these remarkable tools—high quality, aordable,
authentic tools that educate, enable and inspire musicians toward achievement and excellence.
