2. Hi. My name is Richard Frank.
I am the Founder and Creator of PlayTheGroove.

3. I’m also a professional musician and enjoy
introducing young adults to all kinds of music.
That’s why I started doing clinics.
In the process, I noticed something interesting...

4. In schools, students rarely get to learn
modern music styles.

5. They learn the classic styles, sure.
But music styles and traditions have moved on
—and students need to learn about these, too.

6. That’s why I created PlayTheGroove.

7. I formed a terrific group of educators, musicians &
music industry execs.
We started with a vision of creating a worldwide
paradigm shift in music education.

8. And created a new way to play and teach music.

9. The important question is:
What is this “new” way?
We start with great sounding tracks
written in this millenium.
(not 70 years ago)

10. Next, we create full arrangements of the
composition in our proprietary
Platinum Unison Pack format.
while adding a fresh new look.

11. These charts work for:
all instruments
in all keys
with any size group.

12. Let’s say that again:
For each song, our packs work for any number of
horns, woodwinds, and strings in any configuration.
Plus, we include multiple rhythm section parts at
varying skill levels:
- 2 keyboards
- 3 guitars
- 2 vibes
- 2 bass
- drums & 3 percussion

13. These “packs” include:
Original CD mp3
Scores
All Parts
Teacher Guidelines

14. Why all these options?
We know that many school bands have trouble finding
charts that match their instrumentation.
We solved that problem.
Our Platinum Unison Packs have built-in flexibility to
work for these situations…
any situation.

15. Music is a universal language.
Any school in the world that has a rhythm
section can play these tunes.
We think that’s pretty cool.

16. Sometimes we get the question:
“Aren’t unison charts and lead sheets
limiting for a larger group?”
We think otherwise.

17. We see our packs as vehicles that can teach
contemporary music fundamentals including:
- Different Styles and Grooves
- Rhythmic Concepts
- Tone Quality
- Music Theory
- Improvisation
- Arranging

18. With our Platinum Unison Packs, everyone
can play - no one is left out.
Having students on the ‘same page’ is an
efficient and faster way for teachers to
impart vital making-music concepts.

19. We also recognize the benefits from
interdependency of parts.
That’s why we also have in the pipeline
expanded arrangements for big bands,
combos and vocal groups.
It’s a natural progression after utilizing our unison charts.

20. We believe our fresh and relevant music,
with innovative methodologies, will change
how music education is taught.
This is the paradigm shift we are creating.
