Homespun offers music instruction for many instruments and styles on CD, DVD and streaming media.
Happy Traum's inspiration for Homespun came in 1967, when he was a musician and part-time guitar teacher in New York City.
[1] He also received letters from others who wanted to learn to play, so he made more tapes and sold them via classified advertisements in Guitar Player, Rolling Stone, and Sing Out!
[2][3] He decided to turn this effort into the Homespun business, with his wife Jane as co-owner and his brother Artie assisting.
[4] Homespun's first instructional lessons were recorded in Traum's home and sold on five-inch reel-to-reel tapes, as cassettes were not yet generally available.
