Colin - Student testimonial

I have been a user of ArtistWorks for around eight years now. There are lessons and videos Exchanges which are like mini lessons themselves. The site is also a great place to interact with other musicians across the world. The great thing about the ArtistWorks video Exchange system is you get personal one to one feedback from your chosen Tutor. I was already an experienced Guitarist before I started. But there is always new things to learn.

Above everything else though, the teachers through their passion and expertise, have instilled in me, a permanent joy of playing the piano and have connected me to family, friends and other people in the most positive of ways!

Marc H. - Student testimonial

I did not know that online education could be this personalized or this effective. The Virtual Exchanges are priceless, yet only cost me a few dollars per submission. ArtistWorks has created an online learning environment I did not know was possible.

Great Course!

I got a lot out of this course when I did it! Nathan gave me a lot of pointers on groove and his curriculum gave me the rest for different grooves to play on the bass. Really enjoy...
