Our primary commitment is to make music appreciation accessible and affordable for all students, and to communicate that promise to school districts within the US. We work within schools to distribute music appreciation and we deliver online music lessons to students. Our commitment extends effort to secure scholarships and grants from organizations interested in supporting future generations of musicians.
Students may take lessons with us combining our memberships. They include live virtual classrooms, prerecorded lesson videos and live private music instruction. Once they have mastered one or more instruments they have opportunities to record and collaborate with our talented studio musicians. It is not unusual to record an entire album with the help of our musicians with all instruments online. We also coach in recording and marketing music.
