This year's SXSW Festival highlighted the changing landscape of the music industry and emphasized musicians' accessibility. Fans chatted with the various lineups over Twitter and even joined one artist, Santigold, on stage for a dance festival. The New York Times observed that musicians "have an unprecedented opportunity to be heard and seen worldwide."
Through one of ArtistWorks thirteen schools, you can have access to a world-class instructor who wants to give you personalized feedback. Simply send in a video of yourself playing and you'll receive one back as you progress through their comprehensive beginner, intermediate, or advanced lessons. Our artists are teachers eager to help you develop into the player that you've always wanted to be.
Stay tuned as we launch our latest school, the Luis Conte School of Percussion, on April 4!
How ArtistWorks Stacks Up Against Our Competitors

It's no secret that online education is on the rise, so with the increasing attention on education technology we wanted to compare how ArtistWorks stacks up against the competition.
Comparing ArtistWorks to TrueFire, it's not hard to see which is a better value. Our lessons range from $20-30 per month, which is nearly 1/10 of TrueFire’s highest pricing option at $200 a month. For just $40 more you could study at ArtistWorks for a whole year!
Let's take a closer look at how ArtistWorks compares to GuitarTricks and JamPlay, each costing $14.95 and $19.95 a month respectively. The price is right, but just what to you get for your money?
Yes, both offer 24/7 live chat, backing track mp3 downloads, community features, forums, tabs/music notation, customer service helpline, and an ad-free site…. but what about the actual learning process?
What We're Reading: Music Education as Therapy
Mon, 03/12/2012 - 5:25pm
We believe in the therapeutic benefits of lifelong music learning. So does Billy Cobham and best-selling author and Columbia professor of neurology Dr. Oliver Sacks. Dr. Sacks' book Musicophilia explores "how music can animate people with Parkinson's disease who cannot otherwise move, give words to stroke patients who cannot otherwise speak, and calm and organize people whose memories are ravaged by Alzheimer's or amnesia."
Legendary drummer and Billy Cobham puts Dr. Sacks' studies into practice. Mika Kaurismaki's film "Sonic Mirror" shows how Billy's performances with Okuta Percussion benefitted the autistic community in Bern, Switzerland.
