Testimonials
On Tom Frazee (MEO Senior Developer) as a teacher / mentor:
"The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes, and leads you onto the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth". Tom, I didn't write this, but it is you. Thank you!” - Joel Goodman / Oscar, Grammy and Emmy Award Winning Composer-Former Student
On the MEO beta-testing, module and topic offerings:
“I came to MEO [beta testing program] with no prior knowledge of how to record, just with a few songs written, and by the time I finished with their lessons, I could record with professional quality on my own... and I had an album ready to release! The module based topic system MEO uses had me moving forward with little or no backtracking. I thought it would be a massive amount of re-education, but actually, MEO moves you forward and only steps back when you need the information. It was amazing! There's no better way to learn…” - Phillip B. / MEO Beta Tester
On music education & the MEO curriculum streamlining:
“I love it, especially the emphasis on the directive of ‘preparing our students to function in today’s real world of music performance, production, marketing and technology.’ All of those elements COMBINED and funneled to a single objective! There are too many educational systems that aren't taking those elements and condensing them into one concept. The "old school" still treats them as separate entities instead of the formation of a nucleus. It's a brave new world, as you know, where "musician" no longer means instrumentalist, it means, engineer, producer and marketing genius as well. My favorite part is the MEO system of being able to cherry-pick topics and build your own path! I feel education is WAY too scattered. This concentrates a student’s forces – MEO “Modules.” Brilliant!”- Lennie Peterson / Professor, Author, Artist, Lecturer, Musician
On the MEO system and co-founders:
“MEO will take what you know about music, recording, producing, and songwriting and take you places that you did not think was possible before. Their “module / topic" system wasted no time getting me into new information without having to start over. It saved me time and money. Taking lessons and working with MEO has helped me in ways that I cannot even fully appreciate yet. Tom and Nancy's vast knowledge of music, music software, midi modules, composing/arranging, songwriting and recording is complimented by their passion and impeccable character.” - Cameron D. / MEO Beta Tester
On Tom Frazee as a teacher / mentor:
I want to say the following in a public forum (and I almost NEVER post anything, anywhere on Facebook - this is maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I've done so). A huge part of your students' success is undoubtedly due to your influence at a critical time in our musical development. In addition to your fine musical instruction and guidance, your taught us all invaluable lessons about performance/showmanship, professionalism, the music business, technology (always ahead of your time) and work ethic. These are areas of "inside" knowledge that were barely covered by anyone else teaching at Berklee, and can usually only be acquired through real-world experience. You opened all of our eyes while preparing us for careers in the music business, and did so with a maniacal focus, an insane energy level, and a wicked sense of humor. I can truly say that I can connect a huge chunk of my professional activities, from graduation to the present, to your influence, in one way or another. I know that all of the names on that great class list you posted (and many others) join me in thanking you for gracing us with your insight, spirit and inspiration at a time when we needed it the most. -Dan Rosengard / Emmy Award winning Composer / Arranger-Special Music, SNL

We are educators and syllabus developers as well as professional musicians, bringing our vast experience to the table for you!
TRADITIONAL EDUCATION OPTIONS:
- Enroll in a college program. Massive costs and time commitment. You get a degree, but unto itself, it means nothing in today's industry except for teaching. Search YouTube for topics. Free, but requires a tremendous amount of filtering out the junk to get to the real deal...if ever.
- Go to forums and knowledge-bases in order to get bits of information. Open Forums can be helpful, but they also can steer you the wrong way, and can have a tendency to be the collective bragging ground of geeks.
- Google search forever...and ever...and then some more!
MEO OPTION:
MusicEdOnline is a collaborative educational system that pulls from all the "best of" educational programs:
- All topics are organized from our 8 modules into sequential, inter-related topic collections developed from one main syllabus, so that they are completely connected!
- Each topic tutorial runs about 5-7 minutes.
- Based on your rental / subscription level, each offers different access to support links and documents...yet the topic itself is the same across all users.
- Our academic subscription adds our powerful SCORM Compliant LMS (Learning Management System) which gives any educator the ability to create an administrator seat and add his or her students under their account.
- Topics are current to today's industry trends, software / hardware and musical styles.
- We deliver this education to you using the latest mixed media technology! ...and best of all, it is so insanely affordable, it's an offer you can't refuse!
About MusicEdOnline
MusicEdOnline is different from a traditional course of study, AND it's different from other online studies. It's not the same as a "lesson". It certainly is not a lengthy seminar. It's one, or many, 5-7 minute topic(s)...with added tools. Each topic is chock full of music education that our "Adjunct Contributors", senior developers and staff have acquired over their professional careers- all presented in a cohesive, progressive manner. You may merely pick a topic you are interested in, or you may take a sequential path of study. Teacher users may select a path of study for their students or use certain topics within their classroom, or for homework, to augment what they are already teaching! it is a "big" or as "small" as you want to make it..
MusicEdOnline's mission is to provide inexpensive, quality online contemporary music education, taught by the best in the business, to music students of all ages and types. We are committed to providing a collaborative online platform where top contemporary professional musicans can spread their knowledge to others, music "students" of all ages & types can find diverse musical information and music teachers can have more teaching and organization tools to give their students . . . all of this rolled into one location! MusicEdOnline's education and delivery model is a "win,win" for everyone.
How MusicEdOnline got its start:
The vision began in 2010 with tech-geek musician and former professor/curriculum developer Tom Frazee and his partner, songwriter, vocalist Nancy Roche' realized that there needed to be an alternative, trustworthy source for current music education. They had the tech skills AND the music skills to put it together, as well as the connections with top music educators and performers from around the world! Two people with a big dream that finally isn't "ahead" of it's time . . . it is "the future of music education online . . . today!"
Where are we now?
MusicEdOnline (aka "MEO") is in it's building stages, adding inventory before we present it fully to the public! Please enjoy the few "freebies" we have to get a feel of how the MEO learning process will take place on the MEO platform. Our belief is that theory should be presented concisely and in a short frame of time, followed by a LOT of repition! It is the repetition of such theories that causes the student to retain the information.
Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in becoming a MEO adjunct contributor, a part of our investment team, or a school who would want an online option for music studies!
