Jim Gaven Founder and CEO of Key of Awesome Music has written and released over 2 dozen albums of music (solo project, and in the bands Postmark Twain, Age of Wisdom, and Mouth of Wilson). His solo project's music is reminiscent of the artists John Mayer, Third Eye Blind, and the Goo Goo Dolls. A registered composer and publisher with the performing rights organization, BMI, his music can be heard in 6 of the 7 continents across the world in TV shows/commercials/background and in-store radio retail channels, and in-flight entertainment systems.
Jim's work with developmentally disabled adults across the state of NJ is creating a meaningful, non-judgmental way for people to express themselves, create something out of nothing, and build confidence, all the while learning basic, intermediate, and, on some occasions, expert level concepts on guitar, piano, bass, ukulele, percussion, and voice. With over a decade's worth of experience under his belt working with those who have developmental disabilities (and beyond), he is honored, humbled, grateful, and blessed to be able to use his gift of music for the greater good. Due to ongoing interest, he has enlisted the assistance of several outstanding musicians to provide extra services and support as well: Chris Hargrave, Bryan Smith, Riley Byrne, Kim Yarson, and Jim Scanlon
Top three takeaways
Homeschooling isn't really schooling. It's not following any sort of curriculum/program and learning on a whim with no structure.
Homeschooling It's very structured and truly geared toward the child's actual needs.
Homeschooling is all about patience, compassion, and understanding, and trying outside-of-the-box things to find out how your child(ren) learns best.
