ArtistWorks Online Learning Method Featured on Wall Street Journal
Wed, 09/03/2014 - 5:04pm
Reporter Tom Gorman of the Wall Street Journal has put together a fantastic piece about the online learning method at ArtistWorks. Focusing on our mandolin instructor Mike Marshall, the video breaks down how his students are learning mandolin online from his ArtistWorks curriculum. It's a really great synopsis of what it's like to learn an instrument online using the ArtistWorks platform.
"Our approach is very modern, but it's also very ancient. Traditionally and historically, the way people have learned music is they apprentice to a master." - David Butler, ArtistWorks Chairman

For anyone who missed it, here's the full video of our recent "Mando Magic with Mike Marshall" workshop. Moderated by Scott Tichnenor of Mandolin Cafe, we were also joined by some of Mike's mandolin students as well as ArtistWorks Dobro instructor Andy Hall. We had a blast getting into some interesting mandolin related topics, and of course there was some jamming as well! Thanks to everyone who tuned in live and especially the students here who participated and helped us get the word out. See you next time!

Profiles In Online Learning: Annie, Mandolin Student
Thu, 05/29/2014 - 4:57pm
Annie is a musical sign language interpreter who started off her musical journey tone deaf and discouraged at the idea of learning an instrument. She overcame her hesitation by teaching herself to play violin, and now takes Mike Marshall's mandolin lessons here at ArtistWorks.
AW: How did you get into playing mandolin?
Annie: I was playing violin and you always play by turning to the left with your chin on the instrument, and you never get to play in the other direction. I wondered how good that could be for your body. I wanted to play more, and mandolin has the same fingering [as violin] and it's one less instrument because you're not dealing with the bow. So I tried mandolin and fell in love with it.
