Set-up is simple and quick:
Create your Forte Studio.
Invite your students to register in your Forte Studio.
At lesson time, connect live in your studio.
Our dream is to create greater access between teachers and students regardless of where they are in the world. To do this, we are removing as many technical and geographical barriers as possible. First, we built the technology to account for the sound of instruments. Then, we invited you to teach with us. Next comes the power of connection. Forte Connect will allow you to find new students from anywhere in the world. Soon you will be able to run your studio on Forte and grow it too.
Forte is currently completely free to use! Forte’s investors support our mission to expand access to high-quality music education through online lessons. Thanks to this support, Forte can provide our video conferencing platform to teachers and students at no charge.
In early 2023, Forte will introduce Forte Connect, which will provide the opportunity for teachers to expand their studios and find new students. Any lesson taught on Forte between a teacher and student who found each other on Forte Connect will be charged a small fee. However, lessons between a teacher and a student they brought to the Forte platform will remain free.
All personal information and lesson recordings are stored on secure servers. Personal information is only used so Forte can provide its services to users. Personal information, recordings, and any uploaded materials/intellectual property will never be sold or used outside of Forte.
