The Technology
Our Learning Approach:
Our Learning Approach
The AOB consists of five academies, divided by instrument. Each of the five award-winning AOB musician/teachers presents a separate, encyclopedic curriculum of their instrument. All levels, from beginner to extremely advanced, are covered in the curriculum. The curriculum is divided into dozens of "bite-sized" lessons. These lessons were custom-created especially for the AOB and are not available anywhere else.
How the Classes Work
How it Works:
How It Works
The AOB utilizes ArtistWorks' award-winning Video Exchange approach to online learning. Learning via Video Exchange gives students the unique ability to receive specific feedback and guidance from a virtuosic teacher of their instrument. It works like this: A student enrolls in one of the ArtistWorks' Academy of Bluegrass schools, and begins to work on the material, material that was especially created by their teacher.

Growing up in Central Florida, Mike cut his teeth on traditional American music. At age 19, his interest in diverse music styles eventually led him to the San Francisco Bay Area to join the original David Grisman Quintet in 1978. This band toured Europe and Japan and performed on the Johnny Carson Show. Together with the legendary jazz violinist Stephan Grappelli, Mark O’Connor, and guitarist Tony Rice, they helped set a new standard for American string band music.
