Learning is not code; you cannot be programmed to perfection. Sometimes that can be frustrating for musicians trying to improve, but it’s a good thing. Music doesn’t belong on a standardized test, after all. That being said, there are various approaches to teaching. There are military-like instructors, friendly older-sibling types who guide you along, and styles that fall all along the spectrum of possibility. The eclectic mix of teachers on Lessonface is very indicative of this diversity of thought.

Ian Thomas McCulloch of Stonefeather Teaches at LessonFace.com

It's not often you mix a decade of teaching experience and a Berklee education with youth and a budding recording career. But Ian Thomas McCulloch, 28 and from Austin, Texas, is not your average rocker. He's the frontman for Stonefeather, an LA-based funk-rock trio that just released its first full-length album, "California Air,” and one of the latest additions to Lessonface's stable of great teachers.

Great music teachers resound in our thoughts for the rest of our lives, whether through their guidance in how to problem-solve issues, their inspiring characters, or in the direct skills that they impart in us – good posture or how to look cool holding a bass guitar, how to tune or how to use a capo, how to play Humoresque by Dvorak or Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, as the case may be. Choosing the right one for you or your child is very important.

Where in the world could my teacher be?

Click here to go to the full-size, interactive map. 

Though the geographic range of teachers found on LessonFace in our first month can be called global without exaggeration, there's undoubtedly an East Coast of the US concentration. So placement on this map is mostly quite approximate, with some teachers based in NYC appearing to be in Greenland. 

We'd love to get more teachers all around the world (and also more on the East Coast) - and students all around the world as well!
