Music and Songwriting

Otherwise Known as the Will Hunting School of Music
“You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.”

― Matt Damon, Good Will Hunting

Intro
Welcome to the collaborative school for musical do-how! The goal of this project is to create an easily accessible body of knowledge on how to learn and perform any and all kinds of music. We are also aiming to build a community of musicians, everyone from amateurs to professionals to visionaries, who can support each other and create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
