I noticed that my technical ability improved after just the first few lessons. I am looking forward to integrating what I learned into my daily practice to improve even further.

I am so grateful for your site. When I can’t have lessons with someone in person, this site has changed my life when it comes to playing and learning in/with the classical guitar! Thank you!

The instructors are incredible musicians, and having access to secrets of their playing is an amazing experience. The platform has enabled me to learn more demanding pieces.

Go beyond the video with workbooks & Editions

We understand that learning doesn't always happen in front of a screen. That's why our lessons come with free editions and workbooks - so you can take the learning with you, laptop, practice room or anywhere in between.

Start Free Trial →Sample Workbook

What information do the workbooks contain?

Each workbook is customized for the lesson it is accompanying. Contents can include lesson exercises, descriptions, elaborations, assignments, and more. Check out the sample workbook above to get a better idea of what these look like!

Do workbooks include assignments?

While the workbooks accompanying lessons are meant simply to elaborate on the ideas presented by the artist, the course workbooks provide structured assignments that help you effectively internalize the material taught in each course lesson.

What are tonebase Editions?

Our Editions are musical scores that include valuable information such as the artist's fingerings, dynamics, and general notes from the lesson. These allow you to easily take the ideas presented in the lesson and apply them to the music.
