Today I'm continuing the pattern of quarterly check-ins that I've been doing all this year kind of on accident. Previously, I did these with Amy Elmore as we were launching the new Harmony podcast together.

Today I’m joined by David Smolover, a serial entrepreneur who has led an inspiring career in music education. You’ll hear about how he started the National Guitar Summer Workshop that has served up to 6k students, how he made his way into publishing instructional materials (both digital and physical), and how his response to a random cold email led to the start of the guided practice app that we’re diving into today.

With Tonara’s announcement that they will be shutting down their practice app, a lot of teachers are looking for a replacement, so we thought it would be helpful to feature a few of the other apps in this space.
Last week we talked to Nicola Cantan about the startup story of her brand new app - Vivid Practice and today we’re rebroadcasting an episode with the founders of PracticeSpace, Robert Miller and Chris Mallett.
PracticeSpace was not the first business Robert and Chris started together - the first was their teaching conservatory, which you’ll also hear about in this interview.
