Hello ArtistWorks students,

 

We’re pleased that you’ve found us and have a safe place to learn music online while exercising “social distancing”. Yes we have to stay at home, but we don’t have to disconnect. I’ve shared a few thoughts about learning at ArtistWorks during this stressful time, so please take a look at the video. During this crisis period we want to make coming here to learn music a bit more affordable. Please keep an eye on the home page of ArtistWorks.com for discounts we’ll continue to offer. Now is a great time to invite a friend to join you here! You’re all welcome here and I hope this video is helpful to your learning experience. If you need us, we can be reached at 1-800-326-5596 or support@artistworks.com.

We took a trip to Anaheim, CA, for the annual NAMM Show. An extravaganza of musical instrument displays, incredible concerts, educational panels and so much more, NAMM allows attendees to get up close and personal with what’s going on with the gear, artists and people that are integral to the music-making industry.

 

The show is too big for any one person to catch it all, but we thought that sharing some highlights might give you a bit of insight into what makes NAMM such a high-energy show.
