MusicTrainer··on Khan Academy: A global teacher of 1,516 lessons and counting
Slug, Thanks we take much pride in developing the quality of the production and instructors so it's nice to be commended for that. For now just planning on focusing on guitar, drums, bass, percussion, keyboards, vocals, music theory and ear training. Hope to expand out to many more one day but decided it best to focus on those for now. Anything in specific you are looking for?

Thanks Mike. I will be uploading around 600 clips in the next month or so. Keep a look out. I hope I can start generating enough money to up the quality even more. It might take a while though.

Great story. I agree passion is very important. I believe that is why a ton of companies fail after making a pivot point. I believe it can remove much of the original passion for the project. Good luck with your site and thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the compliment. Regarding the age limitation. Just working out the legal information for the younger audience. I plan on opening up the site to all ages once the applicable legal policies are created.

I agree that higher education is the next wave. I am doing kinda the same thing as this math teacher but with music. http://www.MusicTrainer.com . I should be "officially" launching soon. Please let me know what you think. I read hackernews everyday and value the opinions of the community here.
