In the big picture, the most successful people won't be the ones who got straight A's in school. Anyone who is good at memorizing and executing can do that.
The most successful people also won't necessarily be the ones who got the degrees from famous colleges.

It's all about learning hard skills quickly.

For parents, students, and anyone else who believes that music can and should be a meaningful part of everyone's life.
