Why should you listen to me?

Hi, my name is Alon Cooper. I am a music artist, touring the world while running my online teaching business, playing venues with a band / solo, and learning with the most inspiring musicians wherever I go. In the last 8 years I've spent long periods in Australia, northern Europe, the USA, Sri Lanka, and more. Originally I am from Tel Aviv, Israel.

I hope I can be your helpful friend on your musical journey.

I have a huge passion for passing on my knowledge and seeing others succeed. In 2014 I founded the blog GuitarSongsMasters-com, and shortly after also created the accompanying Guitar Songs Masters video courses - that have gained over 100K students so far.

Cheers, and I'm looking forward to seeing you inside, 

-Cooper

Yo, glad you're here and interested in making music a bigger part of your life!

I am a music artist and adventures man, running my teaching business to inspire more people to play music, learning from the most inspiring musicians wherever I go, and performing my original "chill sunset style" music.

In the last 10 years, my love for music took me to live in music capitals such as New Orleans, Austin Texas, Byron Bay (Australia), Amsterdam (Netherlands) - enriching my musicianship and becoming a better mentor for my students online.

In between, I also traveled 2 times around the world with my guitar and harmonicas on my back, jamming with countless lovely & interesting people.

My social media videos (videos where I teach you music / jam with friends) have gathered over 15,000,000 views so far, so hopefully I've inspired some people along the way (-: You can find me on YouTube (Harmonica Jamz - Alon), TikTok (harmonica.jamz.alon), and on my new Instagram (alon.kuperberg).

-

Just like probably many of you reading this, I didn't study music in a university, but instead, as a huge music fan I carved my own way by learning through figuring out my favorite songs, learning from friends, from songbooks, from online courses, a bit of private lessons, etc...

SO - I know where you stand, and I believe I can be your most helpful friend on your goal to play YOUR favorite songs, with maximum joy, and while developing YOUR unique sound on each instrument.

I professionally play the harmonica, piano, and guitar, for myself and for other artists, on stages and in recording studios. I have been playing for 15 years, and I didn't start very early - I was 19 when I first picked up playing music.

I believe you can ALWAYS start and become a great player who deeply enjoys playing music, no matter your age.
