Background

H. Chris Salter, President and CEO

Mr. Salter is the founder and visionary that has taken this idea from a napkin (Piano Wizard) and turned it into a start-up enterprise on the verge of nationally launching its first product. He has assembled a great team and done a lot with a little. His background includes degrees in Linguistics and Music, from SIU Carbondale and UCLA respectively, including travels to 5 continents and 23 different countries. Fluent in 4 languages, conversant in Japanese and Setswana, he spent more than five years studying music-learning processes in Brazil, part of which was under the auspices of the Organization of American States Fellowship program for his Master's thesis research for UCLA. He also spent a year in Botswana with the Peace Corps, and he taught ESL in Japan. Bringing his wife Eliana to the U.S. 8 years ago, he abandoned his academic pursuits and entered the world of software sales, first with Quarterdeck and then with his own company. He took his company from an $8,000 initial capital to $1,000,000 gross revenues in 14 months by selling via demonstration at computer shows. After joining IBI, an entrepreneur training network, he realized the power of a cooperative network in building world-class companies, and he has assiduously applied the principals there to raise the first million dollars toward realizing his deepest dream, a way to bring true musical literacy and enjoyment to millions of happy customers .

Upper-level management experience: Mr. Salter previously ran a software company with about 20 employees, including telemarketers, outside sales reps, computer techs and administrative personnel.
