ArtistWorks on Periscope

Good news: we are starting to live stream recording sessions with our artists who come to our studio. Using the Periscope App, we'll be broadcasting live whenever we have a special guest in our recording studio to record new lessons.
If you follow us on Twitter @artistworks, you may have noticed a couple weeks back that we had Mike Block in recording cello lessons (be sure to get on the mailing list for updates). Mike is back this week to record more and today we're be streaming some of the material on bluegrass cello. Watch live on Periscope @artistworks or follow us on Twitter for the link!
These sessions are meant to be viewed live, but will be stored for 24 hours on our Periscope profile if you have the app. Anyone with the link can view the broadcasts live and see the behind the scenes action at our ArtistWorks headquarters in Napa, CA. Periscope has presented interesting possibilities for real time recording and we are excited to begin experimenting with some different uses. Hope to have some folks tuning in!
