BANDHAPPY will change the music world beginning
in 2012. Scheduled to launch in early 2012, the BANDHAPPY online
music community, founded by Periphery drummer Matt Halpern,
will reshape how music teachers and students connect in a first-of-its-kind
music community. BANDHAPPY will offer either in-person
lessons or online lessons anywhere on the planet via a custom-built, in-house
video chat system.
“BANDHAPPY really spent the time gathering
information from students, teachers and touring artists to create the most
well-rounded and groundbreaking online music tool that I've seen,” states Lamb
of God drummer Chris Adler. “I've given and taken lessons on here myself
and even picked up something I used on the new Lamb of Godrecording. BANDHAPPY has
it all.”

Musicians can use BANDHAPPY for instant
access to a readily available pool of potential students, so they can teach
whatever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want. BANDHAPPY makes
it easy for musicians to manage their teaching schedules effortlessly, while
still doing what they love to do and earn income even when they’re out on the
road. The touring musicians who created BANDHAPPY have
made the entire process hassle-free for both students and teachers. Everything
from scheduling to payment is handled seamlessly in one place, on their
easy-to-navigate, user-friendly site.
Students have a unique opportunity to interact with and
learn from their favorite performers, often without even leaving home. Teachers
that have already signed on include Tosin Abasi (Animals as Leaders),
Rich Redmond (Jason Aldean Band), AJ Minette (The Human Abstract),
Evan Brewer (The Faceless), Paul Waggoner (Between the Buried and Me),
Rody Walker (Protest the Hero), Peter Wichers (Soilwork), Willie
Adler (Lamb of God), Louis Cato (Marcus Miller Band), Spencer
Sotelo (Periphery), and more.
BANDHAPPY offers access to one-on-one lessons –
in person or online -- with the teacher of your choice, chosen from an
impressive roster of professionals in every possible genre. Students will
also have the opportunity to learn all things music related from studio production
to song writing. BANDHAPPY has amassed many well known
music industry professionals as part of the service launch. Additional
teacher applications will be accepted soon.

“Being in Periphery with Matt, I've been
able to watch the building of BANDHAPPY from the beginning,”
states Periphery guitarist and producer, Misha Mansoor. “It’s
amazing actually, seeing how it started as an idea and now being able to use
it! The layout of the site is simple and fun, super user-friendly, and
can really connect a lot of people. It's a revolutionary system with customized
video chat specifically geared toward music lessons. Any musician from any
genre, or any part of the music world will be able to apply to teach and join
an incredible starting roster of teachers. It enables musicians to teach or
take lessons, even if they never have before in a way that is hassle-free and
exciting. BANDHAPPY will help musicians make a stronger
connection with their fans, give fans and students a real and live, personal
learning experience, and allow musicians to run their own teaching businesses.
There has never been anything like this before and it's truly going to change
the musical landscape.”
