MUSIC & LANGUAGE LEARNING?
I know you've tried this.
Your favourite Portuguese playlist is separate from your “serious” and “proper” language learning.
Playing Indonesian indie whilst you speed run the grammar drills? You end up distracted and can’t focus.
Those Lithuanian lyrics feel way beyond your level. You’ll never understand them. What’s the point?
The truth?
“Serious” & “Proper” learning alone won’t satisfy you long-term.
But you already know that – because you’re here! So you’re ready to don your dancing shoes and enjoy music and language learning together!
But you put the K-pop on hold as your Korean textbook comes down from the shelf. You know you’d rather leave the playlist on and use it as part of your learning, but something holds you back…
We’ve been mislead.
Language learning isn’t split into “serious + active + productive” vs “fun + passive + not all that helpful” activities.
Whatever you love can be woven into successful and productive language learning.
All without taking the joy out of the Japanese jazz you love and still whilst keeping the language progress moving forward.

INTRODUCING
Music Maestro
Music Maestro was created out of my desire for language learning that doesn’t feel like the boring option. For language learning that’s both a need and a want. For language learning that’s fun.
Because from my 20+ years of learning 14+ languages, I’ve learnt that the best results come from when I’m enjoying myself and making progress. Not from when I’m forcing myself through grammar exercises, nor from when I’m being way too passive with the fun stuff.
In Music Maestro, you’ll discover exactly how to make music go from passive extra thing to core language resource.

MEET YOUR LANGUAGE GUIDE
Hey, I'm Lindsay.
And I’m on a mission to teach you how to learn a language. Yes, you! Music Maestro is a big part of that mission because it’s all about making language learning fun whilst still productive. Win win, huh?
I’ve recently completed my MA in Applied Linguistics and spent the past 2 decades plus of my life learning languages, which means I know a thing or two about how to do this thing.
When I’m not sharing how to learn languages on the internet, I’m trying new-to-me sports (because being a beginner is the best!), hunting down vintage jewellery, and playing with my tortoise Gonzo (who speaks a grand total of zero languages).
STILL haven't found what you're looking for?
Wondering if Music Maestro is for you?
I help smart, independent language learners go further with their language goals because they enjoy the process. How? Because I don’t try to teach them French or Spanish or any language for that matter. Instead, I teach them how to learn languages.
And a huge part of ‘how to learn a language’? How to have fun with it! Which is exactly what Music Maestro is all about.
So if you want to enjoy language learning, learn smart ways to make it both fun and productive, and keep making progress with your language level, then Music Maestro is for you.
But, hey, I’m not gonna lie. This won’t be for everyone. Some learners prefer to try to figure everything out on their own, even if that means getting stuck or holding themselves back. If you’re not willing to be open and experiment with new ways to learn, then Music Maestro isn’t for you.
Oh yeah, and it’s definitely not a good fit if you care more about #hustle results happening quick and easy within 2 seconds of joining than about sustainable long-lasting success. But if you want to love languages for life? We’ll get on just fine.
