After 2 years in “stealth mode”, we’re finally sharing about Payam Music, starting with my role: I met Payam when he was running a small local piano school, and I saw its transformative impact on students, starting with my own son, Darius. The Payam Method works wonders, as we hear over and over from parents and in online reviews. It has just the right mix of elements to make students fall in LOVE with playing piano and writing their own music. Once I saw firsthand how much better learning can be with the Payam Method, I felt compelled to help spread it, leveraging my experience scaling to 100 million students. I joined as CEO two years ago, and we began hiring a team and recruiting support to help us scale. With the recent endorsement of world-famous composer Hans Zimmer, Payam Music is available in cities around the US and expanding rapidly. Our schools teach 1-on-1 lessons, in person and even online. We have limited spots, so if you or your child want to learn piano, sign up now! And if we don’t have a school near you, join our wait list, we’re growing fast. Fall in Love with Piano P.S. This week we’re announcing the amazing business leaders who are investors in Payam Music, to help us bring the joy of learning to more students everywhere, and also to provide children an alternative to screentime. If you’re worried about kids’ obsession with screens and social media, the solution is to give them a new obsession: piano. ❤️🎹❤️

Mama Foundring plays an original piano piece May 11, 2025 ♥️ She wrote dozens of works like this when she was younger, including many songs. Hearing this particular (unnamed) piece is one of my earliest musical memories and that piano was the very first I ever played🙏

CONTROL Resonant has an anti-gravity mechanic that lets you walk on walls and ceilings. Very cool feature that sets the gameplay apart and really opens up the possibilities in terms of exploration, level design, and traversal.
