We are proud of all our artists who have dedicated their time teaching students online via our online learning platform, and always happy when they find time to record new albums. Within the past 12 months, 10 out of our 25 online teaching artists are either releasing, or have already released new albums. This recent surge is more evidence that our online learning model is working - passionate students are able to access these talented musical geniuses, and the artists are able to balance teaching with recording new musicHere's what's new:

  • Tony Trischka (banjo lessons) - Great Big World released on February, 2014 (Rounder)
  • Mike Marshall and the Turtle Island Quartet - collaborative self-titled album released March 2014  (Adventure Music)
