Inspiration and education come from many sources, but gratitude is due to those that specifically helped me ship MikeBroseMusic.com and its content to you.

• Ron Drotos: Piano Teacher, mentor, and friend. Check him out at his website and YouTube channel keyboardimprov.com. People have asked me from time to time if I give lessons. My gift is in other places which I share here. If you want piano lessons, there is no place else to go.

• Seth Godin: Even though we have never met face to face, his books, blog, and podcast fill my days with positive content. The game changer for me to get this project shipped came from the incredible workshop altMBA. As a proud graduate, I cannot endorse it enough for the challenge and the supportive cohort of people I met.

• Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox: Check out PMJ’s website and YouTube channel for vibrant piano playing mixed with world class vocal talent to bring a fresh jazz-inspired sound to your favorite modern pop tunes.
