We believe in the power of learning music. Our goal is to make it accessible for everyone.
My Story
“Teaching music in the public school system opened my eyes to a range of student differences. I learned to adapt my teaching to meet students where they are by engaging them in different modes of learning.
In 2018 I made some play-along videos for my students and the results were amazing. Students practiced more, had fun, and progressed faster. Inspired by this success of those initial videos, I envisioned a platform like Dynabuddy - a resource filled with innovative online videos that make learning to play music easier and more accessible for everyone.”
