With the holidays right around the corner, it's time to scratch some gifts off the list for the favorite musician in your life. From accessories and microphones to songbooks, there are plenty of music gifts to go around.
So without further ado, are our top picks of gifts for musicians:
Connecting with students through our online music lessons is easily one of the best parts of what we do here at ArtistWorks. From guitarists and drummers to cellists and French horn players, you have all come here with a common goal: to become better musicians. And it’s a privilege to be part of your journey.
It happens to the best of us. Answering email turns into checking social media, and before you know it, you’re zoned out in an endless scroll.
In fact, we’re currently spending more time looking at our screens than ever before — around 23.6 hours a week, according to a recent USC Annenberg study. All of this begs the question, how do you want to spend your time? What are you searching for?
Today we launch our brand new podcast, the “ArtistWorks Music Series”! Episode one, “The Blurring of Bluegrass: Mike Marshall,” is available now anywhere you listen to podcasts. Or you can listen on our site.
Your time is valuable. So when you’re ready to practice or learn something new on your instrument, you want to make the best and most focused use of that time. With a little prep work you can ensure that you’re setting yourself up for the best possible learning outcome! Here are somepractice tips to get you there.
We are always on the hunt for new ways to provide our students and fans with valuable content that can be fun, informative, and engaging. We want to offer an outlet that brings real stories and relevant interviews from your favorite teacher! Send your topic ideas to podcast@artistworks.com today!
Members of ArtistWorks can enjoy $70 off of our one-year memberships to any Video Exchange course offered. The sale won't last long, unlike the cold winter months, so stay inside and play more music!
When it comes to studying music, it is only logical to delve into the style in which you predominantly play or prefer to listen to. I like to call this the “genre comfort zone” a place where you can flourish in your musicianship or become incredibly stagnant and uninspired in a drop of a hat. The bright side of this so called, “GCZ,” is that if you stick with a genre that you are familiar with, one that excites you, then you better your chances of actually picking up your instrument to practice. However, if you pigeon hole yourself into playing one specific type of music, you could find yourself quickly becoming bored and uninspired over time.
