Mike Marshall on Teaching Mandolin Online at ArtistWorks

In this video Mike Marshall shares some thoughts about teaching mandolin online through Video Exchange®, which he's been doing at ArtistWorks for over 4 years now. 

“The kind of freedom it gives both teacher and student is really the key to this. The student can make the videos when they’re comfortable and most relaxed, and I in turn find the right moment for me when I can respond and be really clear headed and focused and really get at the heart of that student’s issues...I’m very proud to be creating a kind of teaching archive here for the future generations as well as the folks who are online today.” - Mike Marshall

Learning Banjo Online from Germany - Student Perspective

learning banjo in germany - view from the porch

I have been a student of Tony Trischka at ArtistWorks for almost a year now. Last year I knew nothing about the 5-string banjo and very little about bluegrass in general. I live in the center of Germany where, sad to say, there are likely no banjo players at all. That’s my view from our porch in the picture.

Living in Germany is like living in a bluegrass desert with a little oasis here and there. Not much to speak of a Banjo Culture. In the south of Germany, especially in the Munich area you can find some bluegrass musicians and some banjo players. Rüdiger Helbig and Adiaha Burgmüller are players that might be known abroad.

learning piano online with christie peery

I started taking piano lessons from an in-person piano teacher when I was in late elementary with my younger sister. After about two years of in-person lessons, my parents seriously considered having us stop. We loved our teacher, but the expense of the lessons became a bit costly. Also, considering that someday my other younger siblings would want learn piano, my parents knew we couldn't possibly afford to continue in-person lessons for all of us children.

Around the time when my parents were deciding whether or not to pull us from our lessons, we heard from a friend about the Online Classical Piano School with Christie Peery. Their daughter was taking piano lessons online using the unique Video Exchange Learning® system and really enjoying them. My sister and I joined ArtistWorks six months later. My parents are very pleased with their decision, and it's been over four years now.
