Every year, around the end of March, we bring everyone together for the biggest Music Lessons Anywhere event – the annual student online concert.
 
The online concert is webcast live so anyone, anywhere in the world can watch this online music event as it happens.
 
We either hire a local venue and a grand piano or stage the whole concert online from my studio. Any of our online music students from around the world can perform in the concert. Local students play live in the venue or studio and other students play through Skype or Google Hangouts and their performances are projected onto a screen in the venue or studio.
