MusicProfessor FAQs

MusicProfessor is an online learning system designed to teach anyone how to play an instrument through a library of online courses. MusicProfessor can supplement classroom learning or a blended learning environment and can help students and families overcome obstacles by providing quality online music education lessons for many levels.

Starting at the basics of putting students’ instruments together and building to make students truly proficient at their instrument, MusicProfessor allows each student the opportunity to learn in their own environment at their own pace. Additional courses including music theory and conducting help make each student a more well-rounded musician.

Anyone with an interest in learning a new instrument should begin learning their instrument with the basics of the MusicProfessor beginner courses.

This is also an excellent opportunity for college students, student teachers, or any band director to brush up on the fundamentals and techniques of instruments that might not be their primary instrument.

Lessons are divided into levels: Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced, and Pro. Each level has many hours of content divided into multiple lessons to make learning easier. The videos are designed to play, pause, and even rewind in case you missed something, encouraging each student to learn at their own pace.
