Music Traveler
Music Traveler was founded by Julia Rhee and Aleksey Igudesman, as a marketplace that centralizes spaces and venues with musical instruments and equipment for the creative industry. Its primary vision was to ease access to resources on music-making and its activities as easily as possible for everyone. The platform enables users to search, book creative spaces and venues including but not exclusive to recording studios, concert halls, rehearsal spaces, lesson facilities, arenas, theatres, band-rooms, and more, with or without instruments or equipment for a transactional fee.
World renown recording artist, and Music Traveler’s ambassador, Billy Joel was quotes, “What Music Traveler is doing a very important because it enables musicians to settle into a place to work on their craft. Having access to instruments is extremely important, you never know when inspiration is going to strike.”
tonebase
Since its beginnings in a Yale practice room in 2017, tonebase’s mission has always been to democratize access to the highest-quality music education, allowing passionate players around the world to learn from and be inspired by the best. As classically-trained conservatory musicians themselves, the founders of tonebase, Chris Garwood and Igor Lichtmann felt that something needed to be done about the lack of access to classical music education, previously only available for the select few.
“We ourselves were very fortunate to attend prestigious music schools and learn from the world’s top instructors. However, we noticed that our teachers could only accept a handful of students into their studio each year which meant very few people actually got to learn directly from these incredible musical minds. By utilizing technology and building a platform to share the ideas of these great instructors, we seek to provide a way that everyone can learn from world-class instructors regardless of whether they were accepted to Juilliard or Yale.”
At the core of tonebase’s current Classical Guitar, Piano, and Violin platforms, with 1,000+ lessons, courses, and interviews taught by dozens of world-class instructors including pianists Emanuel Ax, Garrick Ohlsson, and the late Leon Fleisher, guitarists Pepe Romero, Ana Vidovic, and David Russell, and violinists Glenn Dicterow, Augustin Hadelich.
