Give yourself permission to learn music your way.

One Membership. No Tiers. No Hierarchies.

Other sites love their tiers - Basic, Premium, Elite. Not here.
I refuse to give better answers to "premium" students or save the good stuff for "pro" members. If you're here to learn, you deserve everything I have to offer. So let's keep it simple: one membership that includes absolutely everything.
No upsells.
No locked content.
No second-class students.

Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel anytime? 

Absolutely. No contracts, no hassle. After you register, you will have a student portal with a "My Account" area. In that area you can update your payment info or cancel your account whenever you like. 

Do courses expire? 

All courses are yours as long as you have a membership. Once you cancel your membership and don't have access to the site anymore, you will not have access to the classes anymore. 

What if I'm a complete beginner?

Perfect. You are in the right place.

Do downloads expire?

No. Once you download one of the sessions, it is yours to keep even after your membership is over. 

What can I do with the downloaded sessions?

We will talk more about this in the classes, but basically: You can use them as templates to make your own music. You can disect and analyize them, and build new tracks of your own out of them. You can use the samples, harmony, and drum programming in your own music. You can't just re-release my track, but if you make it your own, then it's yours!

Is everything really included in just one price?

Yup! Well, almost. There is one exception: private lessons. One-on-one lessons are an additional cost, but I'm happy to make them much cheaper for members than for non-members. 

Where are the details of the free trial?

You can find that here.

Can I download classes for offline viewing?

No, but hopefully you can soon. I get a lot of requests for this, so I'm working on it. Soon there will be a dedicated phone & iPad app that will allow you to download the streaming content (classes) for offline viewing. Stay tuned for that. 

The best time to start was years ago.
The second best time is today. 

I'm adding new classes, downloads, and materials  every month - the earlier you join, the more value you get. 

15-Day Free Trial Details and Process: 
There really is no catch here. If you really don't feel like you are getting your money's worth, then I'm happy to refund your money. I'll be a little sad, but we will get past that.

Process:
On day 16 or before of your membership, calculated from the day your credit card was processed, send an email to drj@doctorjteachesmusic.com telling me that you are in the free trial window, and you want to cancel. And if you could be so kind, I would love to hear any details you want to give about why this program didn't live up to your expectations. The feedback is really valuable to me. 

As soon as I receive your request, I'll issue a refund if any money has been collected. If it hasn't, I'll cancel any future payments. Any refunded money can only be refunded to the payment menthod that was used to register. 100% of the money will be refunded. Any transaction fees are on me.

If anything goes wrong, just let me know and I'll be sure it gets taken care of. Remember you aren't dealing with a big corporation here.
