Jason DePue's Glass Is Always Half Full

Jason DePue is a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra and a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music. He has been teaching violin since 1998 and joined Lessonface in 2020 and has quickly become a top teacher. His students have enjoyed full tuition scholarships to top music schools such as Juilliard, Starling Scholarship opportunities, and many enjoy successful careers as independent performing musicians/teachers in their own right. For these reasons and so many more, Jason is this month's teacher spotlight. We caught up with him via email from his home in Philadelphia.

Happy Birthday to Lessonface!

Lessonface is celebrating our 10th anniversary this month and would like to invite you to join in on the celebration!

Meet The Instruments with MET Orchestra Musicians

A professional violinist and professional trumpeter from the MET Orchestra playing their instruments during an interview about how students can choose the right instrument.

As summer comes to an end, students are getting ready to head back to school. Many will be resuming music lessons and practice; others will be picking up an instrument for the first time. For some the choice of which instrument to learn is clear; others may wonder which instrument is right for them, and how to approach the decision. In this conversation, four members of the MET Orchestra explain their choice, and discuss the role of their instrument in the orchestra.
