Congratulations to Luke, our grand prize winner in our Happy Birthday Giveaway! Luke chose to tackle one of our Easy Happy Birthday arrangements for his entry, and did a wonderful job learning to play this on the piano.
Thank you so much to all who participated in our anniversary giveaway drawing to help us celebrate Lessonface's 10th birthday!
Jason DePue is a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra and a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music. He has been teaching violin since 1998 and joined Lessonface in 2020 and has quickly become a top teacher. His students have enjoyed full tuition scholarships to top music schools such as Juilliard, Starling Scholarship opportunities, and many enjoy successful careers as independent performing musicians/teachers in their own right. For these reasons and so many more, Jason is this month's teacher spotlight. We caught up with him via email from his home in Philadelphia.
As summer comes to an end, students are getting ready to head back to school. Many will be resuming music lessons and practice; others will be picking up an instrument for the first time. For some the choice of which instrument to learn is clear; others may wonder which instrument is right for them, and how to approach the decision. In this conversation, four members of the MET Orchestra explain their choice, and discuss the role of their instrument in the orchestra.
Mid summer, we asked our students to complete a survey about your Lessonface experience: what you most value in teachers, what kind of learning formats you most enjoy, what aspects of the platform are good, and what can be improved.
Leticia Filizzola grew up around musicians but didn't start her own musical journey until she was 17. She was accepted to Berklee with a scholarship in 2015 and since then she has accumulated a growing fanbase all across her social media platforms. While living in Boston she joined the Indie-Rock band Los Elk and played multiple sold-out bills around the country.
Congratulations to all our participants in Recital Week! We’re so proud of each and every one of the 111 performers who chose to participate in our June recitals, June 5th-9th.
Helping students reach their goals is foundational for us as part of our mission, and getting to see the progress of these students is truly a joy.
Willow Osborne joined Lessonface in 2021 and has quickly become a student favorite. She was taught by her friend & mentor, Gary "Biscuit" Davis, the only 4-time International Banjo Champion and has appeared on “Woodsongs” with Rhonda Vincent and The Rage, The United States Navy Bluegrass Band and Pat Flynn. Willow's stage presence, vocal, and instrumental skills have given her the opportunity to be the Youth Performer at the Country Tonite Theatre in Pigeon Forge for the past 7 years. Her students praise her because she is easy to talk to and for her deep knowledge of the banjo.
