A "Quaver" is the British term for an eighth note.

Quaver's Marvelous World of Music features an energetic Englishman named Quaver, a musician and music store proprietor whose mission is to inspire kids to discover and love music.

Quaver's "signature" upbeat and impromptu style strikes a chord with kids as he leads them on an exploration of his Music Shop, Studio and Laboratory to understand important music fundamentals.

Quaver wants kids to know what's behind the beat - and have fun discovering music. Quaver and his cast of friends encourage students to begin a musical quest to find their passion for music.

The energetic force behind the Quaver character is performer and educator Graham Hepburn. While in England he taught music to all age levels at Grindon Hall, introducing many innovative teaching ideas to his students. Graham is also an accomplished performer and skilled pianist.

QMWOM educates in a fun and entertaining way by combining the latest technology in web design with interactive white boards, web-based resources, dynamic Kid's Website plus high definition production on DVDs.
