We’re making an innovative guided practice method accessible to all by using a pay-what-you-can model so every student can attend regardless of what district they live in. It’s like Uber ride-sharing for orchestra classrooms.
Yes! Some online classes are boring or hard to tailor to students of different levels and musical backgrounds. But our classes engage students without the need for a shared repertoire.
