Meet Marc, Your Family's Music Production Guide

From 30 years in the classroom to pioneering homeschool music education

★★★★★

Rated Excellent by Families

Hi, I'm Marc, and I believe every teenager has a musical genius waiting to be unlocked. After three decades of teaching and a lifetime of creating music, I've discovered something powerful: when you give teens the right tools, guidance, and creative freedom, they don't just learn music, they transform into confident creators who see the world differently.

The Teaching Years For 30 years, I stood in front of English classrooms, watching students light up when they finally "got it"—when complex concepts clicked and they realized they could master anything with the right approach. I specialized in project-based learning because I saw how students thrived when they could create something meaningful, something uniquely theirs.

But teaching gave me more than just classroom skills. It taught me how to break down complex ideas into digestible steps, how to meet students where they are, and most importantly, how to recognize that spark of understanding in a young person's eyes.

The Music Journey While I was teaching by day, I was creating by night. As a DJ and music producer, I've spent countless hours behind the decks and in front of digital audio workstations, crafting beats that move people. I understand both the technical side—the software, the equipment, the production techniques—and the artistic side—the creativity, the expression, the magic that happens when everything comes together.

This dual life taught me something crucial: the same tools Grammy-winning producers use are accessible to anyone willing to learn. The barrier isn't the technology—it's having someone who can bridge the gap between complex professional software and a teenager's creative vision.

The Health Challenge That Changed Everything A few years ago, kidney disease and dialysis treatments ended my full-time teaching career. What could have been a setback became a revelation. I realized I had a unique opportunity to combine my three decades of educational expertise with my music production skills to serve a community I deeply respect and am joining soon: homeschool families.

I'd always admired homeschool parents—their dedication, their willingness to think outside traditional educational boxes, their commitment to personalized learning. Now I could offer them something truly unique: professional-level music education designed specifically for their lifestyle and values.

Why Homeschool Families?

Understanding Your World Through my research and conversations with homeschool parents, I've learned about what are unique challenges:

You're juggling multiple subjects and grade levels
You need curriculum that actually aligns with educational standards
You want enriching electives that go beyond basic requirements
You're often teaching subjects outside your expertise
You need flexible scheduling that works with your family's rhythm
You want educational experiences that build real-world skills.

My Commitment to You That's why Homeschool Beats Academy isn't just another online music course. It's a complete educational partnership designed around your family's needs:

Flexible Scheduling: Live sessions that work with your homeschool schedule, plus self-paced content for busy weeks
Parent Support: You don't need to be musical—I provide all the technical support and guidance you need
Educational Standards: Our curriculum aligns with national music education standards while building 21st-century digital skills
Family-Friendly Content: Everything is carefully curated to reflect your values and cultural standards
Real Skills: Your teen learns the same professional software used by industry professionals

My Teaching Philosophy

Project-Based Learning I believe teenagers learn best when they're creating something meaningful. That's why every lesson in our program builds toward your teen producing their own original music. Not covers, not exercises—original compositions they can be proud of.

Deep Understanding, Not Just Button-Pushing Anyone can learn to click buttons in software. I teach your teen why certain techniques work, the musical theory behind the beats, and the cultural context of different genres. This creates confident, knowledgeable musicians, not just software operators.

Meeting Students Where They Are Every teenager comes with different musical backgrounds, technical comfort levels, and creative interests. Our one-on-one approach means I can adapt to your teen's learning style, pace, and goals.

Building Independence My ultimate goal is to teach your teen how to learn independently. By the end of our program, they'll have the skills and confidence to continue exploring music production on their own, using online resources and their own creativity.

What Makes Me Different

The Unique Combination I'm not just a music producer who decided to teach, or a teacher who picked up music as a hobby. I'm someone who has spent decades mastering both education and music creation. This combination allows me to:

Translate complex music production concepts into clear, teachable steps
Recognize when a student is struggling and adjust my approach immediately
Create curriculum that builds skills systematically rather than randomly
Provide the patient, encouraging guidance that helps teenagers push through challenges
Bridge the gap between creative expression and technical proficiency

The Homeschool Advantage Unlike traditional music programs designed for classroom settings, everything I do is built around homeschool life:

Family Integration: Parents are partners in the learning process, not outsiders
Innovative Courses:
Its Beats but its so much more. Yes the students learn music production, and well. Well enough to continue on and make it a career of side hustle. Its music creation, appreciation, history and analysis all rolled into one.
Real-World Application: Skills that transfer to potential careers in music, technology, or creative industries and beyond.

My Vision for Your Teen

When your teenager completes our program, I want them to:

Have created multiple original pieces of music they're genuinely proud of
Understand both the technical and artistic sides of music production
Feel confident exploring new musical styles and techniques independently
Have developed problem-solving skills that extend far beyond music
Possess a deeper appreciation for music as both art and craft
Own a portfolio of work that demonstrates real creative and technical growth

Beyond the Classroom

Staying Current The music industry evolves constantly, and I stay on top of new techniques, software updates, and industry trends. Your teen learns current, relevant skills, not outdated methods.

Community Connection I'm active in both the homeschool community and the music production world. This keeps me connected to what homeschool families need and what the industry values.

Continuous Learning I'm constantly improving my own production skills and teaching methods. Recently, I've been developing custom Ableton templates specifically for our students, ensuring they have the best possible learning experience.

But it will not be the governments, or their school systems, or others of their institutions that will drive real innovation in reconstructing childhood education. It will be, as it already is, the homeschoolers and the unschoolers.
