🧩 Strategically using interleaved practice with expert techniques, you learn how get it right the first time, every time - on stage. Each SPARK speaks to an area of playing and helps strategically build and reinforce learning, retrieval, integration, & expression from every angle.

🐛 This revolutionary system works for any level of player from beginner to soloist, and complements what you’re learning with a teacher or gives you a little bit of structure for when you’re no longer in school. We don’t want you to get stuck in the practice room not knowing what to do. Go in with a plan, have some fun, PLAY, and then go have a life.
🦋 Our GOAL is that each time you go into the practice room, you come out a better musician. We WANT you to succeed and be the best you that you can be!
🚀 DOABILITY is key. If it’s doable & fun, you can be consistent. Consistency leads to success.
