"I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy, but most importantly music, for in the patterns of music and all the arts are the keys of learning."
- Plato
"Being able to inspire to learn is a gift. Those who choose the path
of education share a common bond to bettering ourselves and the lives of those
we teach. Improving one improves all. Music has too long been underestimated for
its' ability to reach brain function and learning on all levels. Integrating music
curriculum with sequential teaching systems is essential for basic human development."

"Music & Percussion From Around
The World"
My name is Aaron Plunkett. I have dedicated my life to studying, learning and
teaching world cultures through percussion and drumming. I have an extensive educational
background as well as a long list of accolades in performance and studio work
including the recent box office hit "Titanic." I spent two years traveling the
world in order to gain the understanding and cultural knowledge needed to create
a learning system that would inspire and motivate my students to not only learn
how to play an instrument but, would teach language, math and the desire to learn
about themselves and about cultures. In my program music teaches math and language
while gaining respect and understanding of culture and history.
