WELCOME SONG
I see you, you're here for a reason!
Take a peak to hear exactly what we're going to do together!
Do you wish you had continued with music lessons as a child, so now as an adult you could be fulfilling your musical dream?
I hear from adults all the time that they regret not taking their musical training further. And now they feel like they would be so rusty, or have forgotten everything they learned and it would take too much time to relearn or start over...

My experience with Aidan was incredible, I went from knowing a few chords to not just knowing a bunch of chords but being able to transition through them easily! Not only that but I learned how to write music and dissect other songs, making it easier to learn them! Aidan is an extremely talented artist but also an amazing teacher! She has the experience and patience to make the whole learning process fun and stress free! This course is definitely worth every penny! I would most definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to take their craft to the next level or just to fulfill that musical void in your life. I feel like I’ve grown tremendously in my musical world and I owe it all to Aidan and her method! I can’t thank her enough for what she has taught me - she’s truly one of a kind!
Dakota composed the most beautiful song for his wife, Cassandra; a gift for their 1 year wedding anniversary, during our time together!

I’ve always dreamed of picking up a Ukelele by the campfire and leading a sing-a-long. Opera has always defined me and I’ve wanted to break away from that identity for a long time, sing and write music without rules. I’ve know Aidan for years, been inspired by her songwriting, and always dreamed one day I’d write my own song.
Luckily fate was on my side because a few months ago Aidan posted that she would be doing an 8 week Ukelele and songwriting course. Up to this point I’d only held a Ukelele in a shop in Hawaii one time. I dove right in, bought a beautiful Ukelele and committed myself to 8 weeks of learning. I have to admit, life is busy so I practiced about 30 min to an hour each week, I had a one hour lesson and then a group song-writing zoom lesson with 8 students. It was 8 weeks that I took time for myself, it forced me to pause and make that time.
I’m so grateful for this moment in my life to try something new, to share music with my brilliantly talented little girl and to bring music back into my life.
It’s never too late to try something new.

The First Verse experience was so awesome that I had to sign up for the Second Verse launch too. I wanted to expand on what I had just dipped my toes into. Man, I am glad I did. Because the Second Verse took my playing and writing to a whole new level. I also loved the group collaboration song experience so much. 'Let The Whiskey Decide' didn't flow as easily at first, but that's because every song has a different birth story, haha. And once we got into it, it was worth the effort!!! So proud of this song, thank you Aidan for your patience and perserverence! We are the dream team when it comes to songwriting now!
Dakota's second songwriting creation taps into the themes of following ones heart even when it's hard...

Hello Beautiful You,
Thank you for being here. I am so happy to connect with you. In case you were curious, I wanted to share the WHY's that led to creating The Aidan Mayes Method and The Play Your Song program.
Like so many of you, I was forced into catastrophic change during the pandemic. Sudden heartache and deep loss personally combined with a complete revamp of my music school becoming digital and having all my shows cancelled or postponed. I had two choices - fall into the abyss of despair (which I did for a time, because well, we have to feel our pain) or rise up and see all this change as an opportunity to start again and build an even better life. My new venture into an online platform has been the greatest act of self-belief, rebuilding and learning.
While on the hundredth zoom lesson, feeling the onset of massive burn out, mainly because I was grieving my former life and trying to put on a strong front for my little students. They were looking to me for answers while facing the scary emotions brought on by so many unknowns. The only solution I had was to channel that it all into writing songs. This simple act of creativity healed their fears! Surprisingly, we made so many beautiful songs about COVID. It dawned on me that I could help inspire way more creative souls (including the ones that don't even think of themselves as creative) and gift the medicine of music if I began honing my teachings into a program where many people could participate at the same time.
I felt limited by the way I had be doing things. Stuck. Exhausted. I had to recalibrate, get really quiet within myself and dig deep to truly align with my musical legacy. In fact, I decided to completely surround myself with the most inspiring team of entrepreneurs, leaders, musicians, creators, healers to start tapping into all the possibilities of change. I went on a solo camping adventure to a Forestry site up in the mountains of British Columbia. I brought my guitar, my poi, my journal, books and super delicious food. I had an absolute blast with myself painting rocks, dancing naked and doing yoga at sunrise with the celebration song of the birds around me. I let myself have fun again. In that rejuvenating time, I was able to ask myself what I really enjoyed teaching the most - the answer was so cool - I love being able to combine VOICE, GUITAR or UKULELE, with SONGWRITING and empowering my students to be able to PLAY THEIR OWN SONG!!! This was such a eureka moment, YES.
When I got home, something profound had shifted. I began working on stepping into what I was capable of offering others. I realized that just performing and just helping a handful of people every year, wasn't enough anymore either. I knew it was time to make a bigger, more powerfully positive impact on the world through my music and sharing!
I envisioned the joy I would experience by empowering more people to express themselves through songwriting, playing their instrument and singing!
My loves, I know that once you embark on a songwriter's journey, you are forever a songwriter - forever changed in the most glorious of ways. There is a special magic that ignites - a falling in love with ones own inner beauty - when you begin tapping into your creativity this way. And nothing makes my heart happier that imagining sharing this with YOU!
With song,

I am so blessed to have had an incredible career as a vocalist working with DJ's and performing all over the world before I became a mother. But I always felt so reliant on others to create music because I didn't feel competent accompanying myself on guitar. Working with Aidan to improve my guitar playing, hone my songwriting skills and exercise my voice has helped me feel WAY more confident to explore deeper depths of my creativity and inner joy!!!

I started lessons with Aidan when I was only 8 years old. Without our weekly chats about life, sharing new music we had discovered and getting excited about writing new inspired songs these lessons wouldn’t have played such a pivotal part in my life. That’s what I think makes Aidan so remarkable, she guides you with masterful expertise, and a world of support, all the while tailoring the classes to your heart, mind, and soul. So I would always leave my lessons with an extra skip in my step, truly being able to recognize my progress while also getting so fulfilled by the creative outlet of making my own music. She welcomed me into her own safe place within songwriting and gave me such a comforting gift that has since allowed me to speak my mind, process my emotions, and move through my challenges. Songwriting is a gift and I am so glad that Aidan was the one to pass it on to me. Now have a safe place within music as well!

The playful connection you have with your audience is the same you have with your students! I never want to learn the love of music from someone who just “teaches”. It is because you perform and pass the joy and love of that in your sessions that you make such a great coach. Doing the online sessions with you has not only brought out my confidence (because singing on zoom I am kinda performing) it has given me a window into what makes learning music so fun! You are a music coach, not a teacher because you inspire, encourage and teach!

I spent 5 years exploring singing, songwriting and musical theatre with Aidan. We sure had fun together. We wrote a song called 'Rise', using metaphors of painting and art to express what it is to be autistic and how I see the world. I sang it live while Aidan played piano at our yearend recital and I used that song/performance to apply to University. I credit my lessons with Aidan to my confidence to pursue Art and move to the other side of the country!
How would writing your very own music feel?
If you've never written a song before then it might be difficult to imagine how that experience could feel, and how deeply the ripple effect of life enhancement could seep...
But as the creator of many hundreds of songs over the past 25+ years - some incredible bursts of genius, more tedious and self indulgent journal entries and some necessary but 'meh' not worthy of sharing (we need these ones to lead us to the gems) - there is a richness to your sense of self. An exquisiteness to being able to take a photograph with your own soundtrack.
And then, with practice, you can consistently be creating lovable, soul inspired stories that connect with strangers!
But I can assure you that the outcome really doesn't matter - it's in the process of tapping into your own creative impulses which leads to accomplishing a finished, fully formed SONG - that has an unparalleled magic! In my humble opinion, no drug, drink or outside influence can compare to the medicine and pride this experience creates.
BONUS SIDE EFFECT #1
A natural by product to birthing music, if you allow it, can be to truly fall head over heels in love with yourself in the process!

I highly recommend Aidan Mayes and using the Aidan Mayes Method, she’ll give you everything that you need to tap into that innate desire, that desire that you were really born with, to bring song and to bring music into your life, into the lives of the people you know and into the world. Who knows how far and wide the song or these songs will go that you create through working with her. It will impact every other part of your life. You’ll just be happier. You’ll be healthier. Because you are tapping into your creativity. We’re creative beings having a human experience so let your creativity shine! Let it light yourself up and light up the world!
How would creative freedom feel?
If you discover a calling inside for music, there is no greater joy then creating and finishing your own song!
As you find positive and healthy ways to channel the big emotions of life - into such a beautiful expression - music! Get ready to experience the ripple effects of self love, confidence and pride. And you won't be creating just any music, this will be your unique sound and message.
There is no greater high, for a soul who is moved by song. By curiously showing up for yourself 20 mins - 1 hour/day, in the form of journaling, or practicing some vocal exercises, or playing a simple rhythm on your instrument or allowing ideas for lyrics to light up your brain waves - you can transform every stale corner of your life and align with what really makes your heart feel happy. Afterall, this life is short and you deserve to feel good!
BONUS SIDE EFFECT #2
Contributing art into the world - with no judgement - makes our planet a better place!
