Hi from the LessonAce

Introducing the Ace!

As part of our ongoing quest to make more amazing music teachers more accessible to you, we're delighted to introduce you to a couple of new site features, including an especially fun one. Please meet the Lesson Ace. The Lesson Ace character was created by a wonderful set of artists who hail from Madrid, and is meant to exemplify our goal to help you 'Ace' your lesson. And that the teachers you'll find on LessonFace are all Aces at teaching. And that you will with time and practice (and expert instruction) also become an Ace. It's multifaceted.

It’s pretty hard to get good at an instrument without practicing though, so something’s got to give. In that vein, we’ve come up with four solutions to the problem of drumming in the city (or anywhere neighbors might not enjoy feeling the rhythm as much as you do).

While the budget never seems to go down for Congressional salaries, budget cuts continually drain away music programs in public schools. There are countless studies that show why music education benefits students (as well as adult learners) in numerous manners, but that doesn’t seem to matter to our politicians.
