For Orchestra!

Today I announced to my Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube community that I am no longer teaching music lessons online anymore. This is because I am now going to focus ALL of my efforts 110% on ‘For Orchestra’. It took me nearly 2 years to build my online lesson music community, and some think that I am just throwing it all away. The thing is I’m not, I’m simply morphing into new territories – which is everything that my lessons centered around. I always said, that change keeps you sharp and exporling is what we all stand for. If you’re in a Jazz band and hit a wall, then start writing for a heavy metal band. If you write Folk, join a techno band.

At first, I thought to myself “What are you doing?!” And then I thought about the idea of change. Change is beautiful. Try new things, meet new people, learn different musical instruments, go skydiving if it scares you, start a business that you’ve been wanting to do forever.

“If it scares you do it” – those are words that Derek Sivers once told me. The thing is that this new idea

I have no idea how long I’m on this earth for, and I have no idea what’s going to happen tomorrow. All I know is that I love the orchestra, and I’m in a position to bring it back. I am so passionate about it, and its all I think about. Over the past 2 years I was never ‘crazy’ about teaching music lessons. There were days I wanted to stop but kept on doing it, there were times when I wanted to throw my camera out of the window. But I did it because of the flood of students who didn’t have answers to questions that they needed. I wanted to help everyone, and I’ve done that. I’ve helped thousands of people a day, and its all archived here.

I’m amazed by everyone’s support – but now its onto something new. Keep evolving, keep doing new things, meeting new people, breaking down walls. I don’t want any regrets, and of all the lessons I’ve ever taught, perhaps this is the greatest one of all – follow your heart.

Feel free to check out my music, or at least spreading it on Twitter, Facebook, or email.
