      Business Owner

      Specializing in Music Technology and Education, we focus on those interested in doing more with music than just listening ! We thrive on helping people develop deeper, more fulfilling connections, particularly with The Music Within.Says business owner, Glenn D. Reuther : "Professionally, I've been a technology guy for many years, but for even longer I've been a multi-instrumental musician and home studio owner\operator. I live and breathe music !" "Over the years, I have been developing the tools and techniques which have allowed me to tap into the music within me; truly creating a path of least resistance. "This allows me to focus on music creation IN THE MOMENT, simultaneously as listener, performer and composer, with the most complete route available, i.e., for creating 5 minutes of music in 5 minutes. My process is instinctive, extremely fulfilling, and allows me to connect directly with the music within me, and now I can help others do the same."It's so fulfilling, it's time to share this with the world." "My studio and workflow has evolved to include software and hardware solutions which I continue to design, develop and use, in order to make the technology transparent, and leaves me to focus on the task at hand; getting to listen to the music I hear in my head." Currently we can provide information, lessons, support, and services associated with your own ability to tap into The Music Within YOU. Show less
