Warmest Greetings from the Next Octave Music School!

​

Thank you for making it this far with us. I’m Dwayne Creado, a full-time Music Educator, Singer, Guitarist & Entrepreneur.

 

As 90’s kids, we grew up listening to Enrique Iglesias, Eminem & a bunch of talented artists during the era. I enjoyed being the bathroom singer but was a pretty awkward kid at school's musical events. I received my first guitar as a Christmas present in Grade 6. Tried playing the instrument for a month but just couldn’t find the right guidance in the teacher and ended up losing complete interest. To cut a long story short, my love for music only multiplied when I crossed paths with my guitar, once again, during junior college. I was highly influenced by my peers playing their guitars during breaks that

I fell in love with it. I still remember how inspired I was! I then decided to pick up the guitar and teach myself the instrument. Positive peer pressure could really work wonders at times! Over a period of time I taught myself to sing and play simultaneously, I started recording videos on Youtube, Instagram, etc., really enjoying the process. Later formed a local band and performed for various group and solo gigs. I created original music for agencies as a freelancer, too. While pursuing my Aircraft Maintainance Engineering in 2012, I started tutoring the guitar. Taught my first student in 2015.  Fast-forwarding a few years, I enjoyed teaching and then decided to quit my profession to pursue my love for music. Like any other ambitious kid, a childhood passion laid the foundation for me at Next Octave Music today; I want to call it thanksgiving, for the love music, has bestowed upon me since a kid.

As of the present day, I’ve tutored over a thousand students across various schools from Mumbai, namely Bombay Scottish Powai, TGAA Chembur & Mulund, The Cathedral, And John Connon School Churchgate, St. Anthony's School, etc.

I also specialize in the early developer’s music program for young kids. 

​

Over the years, I've met a talented set of professional musicians who shared similar interests, who eventually became friends. Each of them is a full-time musician at the Core of their profession with tremendous coaching experience, locally and internationally. I reached out to them to build upon my idea of an Online Music Platform, and off we went!

With our acquired knowledge & skills-set and over a year’s worth of brainstorming, research, and planning, we created

The Next Octave Family, which now comprises highly trained coaches from Internationally recognized Institutions across India. We strove hard to provide a truly transparent, genuine & economic experience to every student from the comfort of their homes. For tutors, Next Octave Music School also aims to provide potential teaching & career options, which are well paid for.  We aim to grow together with our educators. Bearing in mind the new-age classroom methodologies for the future of musical education, the ever-growing demand for online platforms, and the comfort of our clients.
