Welcome at the website of Virtual Music Education. My name is Arnoud de Graaff and I’m the founder of this online course. The workshops I made have I tested in actual practice and can be followed by every musician, regardless the instrument you play, the level you play at (from beginner till professional) or the style you’re playing in. The course will definitely help you to become a better musician and teach you how to play beautiful solo’s, sound like a pro, swing properly and play with the songs you like to play with! You can listen to the introduction of each workshop by clicking on the play button.
