You KNOW you have music in your heart and soul. But learning the mechanics of thinking, reading, and writing in that strange LANGUAGE OF MUSIC has always stopped you cold?
If you can count to ten you can understand the basics of music reading, music theory, singing accurately by ear - all the "mysterious" secrets of being a "musician" - you have always longed to master.
This simple, easy-to-understand method makes it literally child's play. This straightforward approach to understanding and making music was developed by Edd Key to teach elementary students of all interest levels how to get a kick out of making music.

You and your buds have always wanted to build your own rock band. You played that old Stratocaster in college while she clunked out chords on the Rhodes piano and he pounded away on the drum kit from his junior high days. All you really ever need was a bass player and some help with the vocals. Now you've got a little more time on your hands!
