The Music Coach Program is a completely new way of learning a musical instrument.  Each student can begin learning, with no prior experience in music.  At the end of the 12 week program they will be able to play their instrument, and also play with other students from the program.  This is made possible through the program’s unique design, which focuses on the goal of learning the skills needed to play with others as quickly as possible.

choose your instrument


  • Each instrument has 12 video lessons.  Every lesson is delivered in a friendly and inspiring format, that sets up each student for success.  All the lessons deliver the right amount of new information to keep the students motivated, but not overwhelmed.

  • Each instrument also has 12 video practice lessons.  This takes all the guess work out of what to practice.  All practice videos feature voice overs and visual cues for what is to be played now, and what is coming up next.  It is as simple as “monkey see, monkey do”.

Inside The Music Coach Program, you’ll discover and learn PROVEN methods that work.  Learning to play a musical instrument enhances so many aspects of your mind and spirit that it will change your life forever!  Here are some some of the benefits of learning to play an instrument.

  • Boosts your listening and communication skills
  • Increases the capacity of your memory
  • Enhances your coordination
  • Boosts your team skills
  • Fosters your self-expression and relieves stress
  • Sharpens your concentration

As a special bonus I have added four music theory animated videos that explain the most important concepts in music.  All music is built on the same foundation of melody, harmony, and rhythm, but many people don’t understand what those words even mean.  I have created four short videos that explain in detail how these concepts work, using real world metaphors so they are easy to understand.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself so you can get a better sense of how and why I created this program.

I have been a professional musician since 1998, performing across North America with many different bands and orchestras.  In that time I have been nominated for a Juno Award, and shared the stage with several Grammy Award winning artists including, Sarah McLachlan, Edgar Winter, America, and Dan Hill.

I began teaching private lessons in 2002 in Toronto Canada.   After teaching hundreds of students on guitar, bass, drums, piano, flute, clarinet, and saxophone, I began to see that the single most important factor in my students long term success was their ability to learn the skills to play with other musicians as early as possible.  You may think that learning to play an instrument and learning the skills to play with others would be the same thing, but they are two different skill sets.  So I issued myself a challenge.   How can I help total beginners get started in playing and learn how to play with others as quickly as possible…..and do it all from the comfort of their own home.   The answer is The Music Coach Program.
