Hi, I’m Mike George. Welcome to MyColorMusic.com! Here’s some basic info about me:

MikeSF Name: Mike George
Age: 31
Location: Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Status: Married (to my California Girl)
Instruments: Keyboard, Guitar, Bass
Zodiac: Aquarius

I’ve been a music nerd for a while. When I was 10, I started playing the violin. A couple years later, I traded that in for a bass guitar. And as a teenager, I joined a band that got pretty good. (We even built our own studio in a barn.) Then I picked up the electric guitar and keyboards. I also played drums for a while, but let’s not talk about that….

Ever since I was kid, I never liked standard music lessons. To me, they didn’t make much sense. And whenever I asked the “experts” to explain how music really worked, they … well, just couldn’t. So I decided to figure it out for myself.

After a lot of research—and a lot of experimenting—I developed this cool method called Color Music™. So now I’m working on a book for musicians. And I’m writing this blog, which is a cool way to connect with people.

I hope you enjoy this website. It’s the place for all things music. You’ll find information about music theory, songwriting, history, and more. And we’ll talk about tips, tricks, and techniques for improving your skills. Thanks for checking it out.
