The ArtistWorks video library provides access to top-quality music and fine art courses taught by world-renowned experts. The Blackboard integration enables single sign-on access for faculty and students, and static links that faculty can place in their courses. ArtistWorks instructors are among the most qualified available and include Grammy® and IBMA award winning musicians who teach a complete instrument-specific curriculum.
