Songwriting is the center of my musical universe.
I've been playing music since I was four years old, and teaching music lessons on a variety of instruments, pursuits and styles for at least 25 years. And I'm still a big believer in the fundamentals—discipline, technique, practicing, music theory . . . no matter what kind of musician you want to be, it isn't fun if you can't play. But songwriting is the center of my musical universe. It holds it all together for me—constantly giving me the focus, meaning, and purpose I need to return to the well over and over again. There's only one feeling in the world better than finishing a song, and that's starting the next one.

Discover the power of Reason.
Propellerhead's Reason is a stellar all-in-one music software program that allows for multi-tracking of live and MIDI instruments and comes with a ton of amazing sounds, drum-kits, and effects. Pro composer and multidisciplinary artist Jason Pfaff has been using Reason for everything since 2014—writing in multiple genres (including Pop, Hip-Hop, Electronica, and Soundtrack), post-mixing, and mastering. Reason is moving its way up the popularity ladder and has proven to be a real contender as a stand-alone DAW, and version 11 also allows it to be used as a plugin in other programs. (Jason prefers to teach versions 11 back down to 6, but he can teach previous versions as well.)

Learn music with a pro songwriter, producer, engineer, music business consultant, and founder & CEO of Work Art Entertainment.
Figuring out the music biz is totally my M.O.
I produce and play the keys by ear, and I use my software to help bring out the best in my creative nature and songwriting abilities, which are truly blessings from God. Most people are lost with the business side of music, and that is why I spent eight years working to learn the biz and what's to come, keeping up with legislative changes and requirements and other developments. It takes a lot of hard work and knowledge to ensure that your music is secure and still get the exposure it needs to be enjoyed by everyone. No matter how good your music is (and it has to be GOOD), just throwing a ton of tracks on YouTube hoping to get discovered is NOT a business plan.
