Walt Ribeiro's in your face teaching style has created an entire community of those interested in music or not. 'The Internet's Music Teacher' has consistently created a fleet of dedicated viewers, and shares his lessons, passion, and knowledge of Music Technology, Guitar, Piano, News, Interviews, and more every day. So how'd this happen?

Walt Ribeiro is inspired by all things, and he cares about music education and those who are interested. "I started doing it because there were no videos on teaching music theory," says Ribeiro, "and if there were, they weren't any good." Making sure he responds to every email and every question he is asked via the website, Ribeiro takes a zen-like approach to sharing his knowledge online: "I feel if you know something, you should pay it forward - in the hope that, one day, someone is able to teach someone else in the way it was given to me." As his lessons started getting passed around, he decided to 'take the leap' in March 2008 and teach the void of music lessons online in a fun, engaging, and informative environment all day, every day.

Walt has written full songs with his community, as well as leveraged them together to create neat experiments in music and technology. This kind of interaction, visualization, and dedication is what makes the show and it seems like he won't rest until every student in the world has their music questions answered.
