About Us and Our Mission

Our Mission

Play With a Pro’s mission is to help people around the world realize their dreams of playing music.

After all, music is for everyone and so should learning it be.

Currently, Play with a Pro offers a growing library of educational videos of the highest quality with world-class artists and teachers from renowned orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, and leading music institutions such as the Juilliard School NY, Curtis Institute, Colburn University and many others.

Play With a Pro was founded by Adam Simonsen, clarinetist at the Royal Danish Orchestra, after touring Brazil with Brazil’s National Symphony Orchestra. There he met many extraordinarily talented young musicians who all wished to educate themselves further but lacked access to experienced teachers.

Many of the world’s leading musicians and teachers have since joined Play With a Pro’s mission to make high-quality music education available to people around the world. In their videos they share their knowledge, passion and unique takes on music.
