Joining your school band is a terrific way to learn an instrument and play music in a fun, social environment. Choosing an instrument can be daunting, especially for young students new to music, so we’ve put together this guide to help.
Our hardworking site development team made many improvements to our new beta in September, including some updates just last night. Huge thanks to all of our community members who have reached out with feedback since we first introduced the new version of our beta in mid-August. Your feedback is very helpful to make sure the platform works well for everyone!
Here are a few of the issues that were addressed in the last month:
Do guitarists have to read music? Is it wrong for beginners to learn tablature? These can be lively debates in guitar education. Some guitar teachers are adamant that students learn to read music. Some even feel that tablature is "cheating." I disagree, and I'm a very enthusiastic notation reader.
We are pleased to announce a major step forward with our platform this week. Lessonface account dashboards, lessons, messages, and contacts all received a major overhaul. The updates are in our beta version, so that we can collect feedback from our users and minimize any lesson disruption that the changes might inadvertently cause.
Lessonface is thrilled to announce our launch today of our collaboration with MariachiMusic.com/MPR, who created the iconic Mariachi Extravaganza, based in San Antonio and operating the premiere Mariachi festival in the world for thirty years.
Are you considering online music and arts activities but are unsure how it might work? Or want to make sure that online music activities are a good fit for your kid?
When singing in front of a group, it’s totally normal to get nervous — your body will be flooded with adrenaline for most performances. It even happens to the pros! But how can you make sure you’re comfortable and confident performing?

It’s "Try July" for Lessonface! During the month of July we like to encourage students to start looking for teachers who interest them and set up a free trial lesson before schedules get busier in the fall. A little preparation now can help make sure that you get a great time slot for your schedule with your best teacher fit.
