Our Latest Blog on Music & Instruments

In earlier decades of piano instruction, it was a simple process: the teacher told the student what to practice, and the student did that without question. In my early days I didn't mind that, because I loved the piano, and I was willing to play whatever was put in front of me. Still, I've known many people who said that when they were kids, they liked playing the piano but they didn't like the songs they were given, so they quit. I was lucky not to have that issue early on.

2022 has been quite a year at Lessonface, and we see it reflected in the over 5,000 five-star lesson and class reviews students have awarded, one by one, over the months, with over 18,000 five-star reviews now being awarded in our 10 years of operations. Some clear themes emerge in the reviews - celebrating the best teacher, having an amazing lesson, accomplishing goals, being motivated to keep at it.

Congratulations to all our participants in Recital Week! We’re so proud of each and every one of the performers who chose to participate in our end of the year recitals, December 4th-8th.

Helping students reach their goals is foundational for us as part of our mission, and getting to see the progress of these students is truly a joy.

As a platform for great teachers, Lessonface abounds with charismatic experts. We host over 2,500 supremely talented educators, covering over 206 subjects in private lessons and a growing number of group classes as well. 

We try to celebrate our teachers throughout the year, and as an annual event, we additionally celebrate the teacher who taught the most in the year overall, as well as the most in each of the subjects - as the Teachers of the Year.

This year, we are so happy to name our top teacher: piano teacher Beverly Cashin!
