The Finest Online MusicLearning Experience


Online Music Lessons from WorkshopLive

Can you really learn to play an instrument, right online with your own teacher?

WorkshopLive enables you to do just that— from the comfort of your home or, for that matter, from any place that has high-speed Internet access. WorkshopLive currently offers over 1,800 lessons and over 100 songs for beginner, intermediate and advanced players, taught by over 50 teachers, for guitar, keyboard, bass and drums/percussion.

Our curricula are developed by our teachers and our education experts, who bring over 20 years of experience as educators and publishers to the table (see National Guitar Workshop and DayJams). The lessons address a multitude of subjects and offer a variety of styles, including rock, blues, jazz, acoustic, fingerstyle, country, and more.

WorkshopLive lessons are all recorded in dynamic high-quality video and audio format, viewable in our unique interactive player. You personalize lessons to your own needs: control the tempo, show note names, fingerings or scale degrees, select a section of music and loop it over at your desired speed. You get to choose from three different views, including tablature, standard music notation, and/or animated instrument. You can print out the exercises accompanying the lessons, to practice offline when you’re away from the computer.

To further optimize your learning experience, you can customize your lesson content by selecting your instrument, your preferred style and your skill level. Our patent-pending student-teacher matching engine will help you choose a teacher that best suits your needs.

Whether you are an absolute beginner or a former player, WorkshopLive lessons let you practice and play at your own speed at a time that is convenient for you, 24/7 – it’s like having your teacher in your home. Even if you have a teacher already, our lessons complement a teacher’s program, helping students reinforce all that has been learned offline, accessing and reviewing information at any time.

The availability of music instruction at home for a low price is a welcomed solution for parents who are tired of driving their kids from one lesson to another. In addition, watching a video lesson on your computer and learning from it might help to shift away the focus from playing video games. (We’re not saying that video games are all bad, but too much of anything usually causes some damage.)

With WorkshopLive, you can be the musician you always wanted to be: the guitar strummer who likes to hum a tune, the keyboard player who accompanies a singer, the bass player who lays down the groove in a rock band – the dream is yours, and we help you realize it.

To learn more about WorkshopLive, go to our home page, take a sample lesson, watch a demo lesson, or go to our sign-up page and start your first lesson!

WorkshopLive is a multifaceted community that maintains an article library with hands-on advice, player profiles, a blog and a forum where members can discuss lesson issues and anything related to music.

WorkshopLive combines talented, passionate and professional teachers with one-of-a-kind, patent-pending technology to bring you great bass guitar lessons for beginners. And our upper level classes are in production, so you'll be ready to keep going after you've mastered the basics.

WorkshopLive has an amazing and ever-growing choice of online guitar, bass and piano teachers who cater to the beginner as well as the touring musician. Is it Rock you're into? Jazz? Blues? Classical guitar? We have music teachers specializing in all levels and styles, and you are free to pick and choose.
