Free streamed music lessons for all Victorian students during Covid-19 restrictions
In the interest of keeping music alive during the Covid-19 crisis, DSE Music Tuition are giving access to a full term of both piano & guitar lessons - 100% FREE to every student across Victoria, no catch, no conditions.
My wife and I have watched our friends, family and students financially affected (to varying degrees) by Covid-19 and although we are suffering too, we wanted to contribute something joyful to students in our wonderful state.
We have taken the decision to give away the complete first Term of our beginner program of 10 x streamed video lessons in piano or guitar, completely free, no catch, no conditions.
What people really need right now is something that costs nothing, is educational and entertaining, that can be done from the comfort and safety of your own home. We realised that we have that thing and whilst considerable cost and effort went into creating it, that gifting it may be a small way that we can positively contribute in a scary & difficult time.
The lessons are streamed video lessons via our streaming platform, can be watched on any device (smart TV, desktop, laptop, tablet or phone) and include additional learning material (sheet music, audio files, etc).
We want to stress, this is complete term or level of tuition, this is not half of a lesson then you hit a pay wall to see the rest. It is the first (or beginner) set of 10 lessons in piano or guitar, unrestricted in any way. If you can get your hands on a guitar, keyboard or piano (or even if you can’t), its all yours free… to everyone, everywhere.
These lessons are appropriate and free for everyone regardless of age, gender or location. Everyone deserves the gift of music!
