President's Day Sale: $25 Off Group Classes

Monday, February 17th 2014

Many presidents have been musically inclined. Warren G. Harding, pictured on tuba, was an avowed multi-instrumentalist. Thomas Jefferson was an extremely accomplished violinist. Bill Clinton famously played the sax on the Arsenio Hall Show.

But really, we'll admit it, this is just an excuse for a quick sale! We have a couple of very cool group classes scheduled for March. If you enroll by end of day tomorrow, you can take $25 off any of them by using the code: PREZplay. (We also admit to loving puns.)

We're getting ready for a fun master class on Indian Percussion with Dr. Rohan Krishnamurthy on March 8! For an introduction to his primary instrument, the mridangam, Dr. Krishnamurthy took some time from his busy performance schedule to record a couple of quick impromptu videos with Lessonface when he was in NYC in December 2013.

Here they are from the Lessonface Youtube channel, for your viewing pleasure.

Happy New Year Snow Day

Happy 2014!

Saturday, January 4th 2014

Happy New Year, everybody! It's starting out a bright clean white at the Lessonface offices in Brooklyn, NY.

This photo is outside the founders' apartment, as we're working from home this weekend for hopefully understandable reasons! I'm going to be finishing up an awesome new ukulele course, which you should be seeing on the site in the next week or two, while Ashford does some outreach, possibly plays his banjo, and works on a new song entitled, I kid you not, "Bowl of Macaroni." 

It's infectious.
