My name is Jerald Simon. First and foremost, I am a husband to my beautiful wife, Zanny (her name is Suzanne - but anyone who knows her calls her Zanny), and a father to my three wonderful children, Summer, Preston, and Matthew. They are wonderful and everything I do is for them. God and family always comes first in my life!

I am the founder of Music Motivation® (musicmotivation.com), and the creator of the Cool Songs Series (musicmotivation.com/coolsongs), and the Essential Piano Exercises Course (essentialpianoexercises.com). I teach weekly online group piano lessons to students all over the world (essentialpianolessons.com) and also teach a few students privately in my home studio. I have a YouTube channel (youtube.com/jeraldsimon) and I love learning everything I can and want to help myself and others do our best and live our best life. You can visit my Amazon storefront page to see which products I personally recommend (amazon.com/shop/jeraldsimon - this includes my own books and albums and other useful products musicians need to succeed).

This is my Purpose and Mission in life:

“My purpose and mission in life is to motivate myself and others through my music and writing, to help others find their purpose and mission in life, and to teach values that encourage everyone everywhere to do and be their best.” – Jerald Simon
