Forgetting your password is a bummer. Resetting it should not be.

That’s why we recently made it a lot easier to reset your ArtistWorks password in case you ever need to. These things happen, we’ll get you through it. Go on, give it a try - we'll see you here on the other side.

To all my Irish friends and lovers of Irish Music, here's a track by the great Chicago harmonica player James Conway. He plays whistle on this and it's me on harmonica. From his "Mouth Box" CD https://soundcloud.com/howard-levy-648179399

Everyone- I just got this message from Kaleena Hutchins:

"the deadline for the SPAH Youth Scholarship application is May 15th. I'm the chairwoman for the Youth Scholarship Committee this year helping to choose the recipients, and so far we have only received a couple of applications. I'm wondering if you might have any students who are 21 years old or younger who might be interested? The scholarship includes the hotel room from Tuesday, 8/15 through Saturday, 8/19 as well as the registration fees for the 2017 SPAH convention in Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you have any students who are interested, they may apply at http://www.spah.org/Files/2017%20Youth%20Scholarship%20application%20final.pdf

upload limitis increased

Is 500 MB big enough for you? Hopefully it should be plenty so you won’t have to worry about compressing videos before uploading. You know what that means? More time to play music! Speaking of which, shouldn't you be practicing?

artistworks tagging badge

Calling all members, calling all members! There's a new posse in town.

 

They call themselves the Tag Team... and they're back again to implement some indexing! Word on the street is they're looking for you to join their team. They need more tags on these videos! 

 

Did we mention you get a badge if you add 10 tags?

Whoomp! (There It Is)  -------> 

 

Read on to learn how add a tag on a video:

The Video Exchange process is a marvelous thing. Each one captures a unique experience between student and teacher, and lives forever in the Video Exchange Archive.

1st video exchange badge

Over time this treasure trove of tips and techniques only becomes bigger and more helpful for future students. Imagine - every question you may ever have about your instrument already answered! 

We recognize that it takes courage and determination to brave the waters of recording and the rocky shores of uploading. As a small token, we're giving everyone who's ever submitted a video to their teacher here a badge for their bravery. May it bestow you peace in times of turmoil. 

Did you get the badge? It's not too late!
