Just like Netflix, you can binge-watch popular shows like Doc Martin, Midsomer Murders, Inspector George Gently, Vera, Murdoch Mysteries, and more. With thousands of hours of commercial-free programming and new shows added weekly, there’s always something to watch.
ArtistWorks
ArtistWorks for Libraries provides patrons with world-class instruction through self-paced video lessons taught by highly accomplished and Grammy Award–winning music and art professionals.
ArtistWorks for Libraries offers instrumental and voice classes, from basic courses to intermediate instruction to advanced lessons. Because ArtistWorks for Libraries is browser enabled for both desktop and mobile devices, patrons can enjoy on-the-go learning without having to download an app.
Many children and adults spend hundreds or thousands of dollars a year on private music instruction—or do not have the means or access to accomplished professionals. ArtistWorks for Libraries offers many communities an alternative to high-cost private-arts instruction.
