A better way to learn music

Convenient music lessons

Private, affordable lessons can fit your schedule, without the hassle of having to travel with equipment, instruments, and gear. Forte meets the demands of your lifestyle, your calendar, and your skill level.

The right teacher for you

Whether you're a beginner or a professional musician, you will find the right teacher in minutes — all with a money-back guarantee.

Superior audio and features

Forte is a platform that's built for learning and playing music, not for business meetings. With the highest audio resolution available and features built specifically for learning music, you have everything you need at your fingertips to have great lessons.

How it works

We'll get to know you

Answer a 6-question survey that will cover your skill level, goals, genre preferences, and demographics. We ask questions about what you want from your lesson experience to intentionally connect you with teachers who align with your skill level, your musical goals and aspirations, and your budget. This helps us match you with teachers that are right for you.

Explore your teacher matches

We know that it’s overwhelming to scroll through hundreds of qualified teachers who may or may not meet your specific needs as a student, so Forte eliminates that barrier. Read about your highly curated teacher matches, and then schedule a Trial Lesson with as many teachers as you’d like before deciding which is the perfect fit for you for ongoing lessons.

Start taking music lessons

Once you’ve found the teacher who feels like a perfect match, book lessons with them on your schedule, and then meet them on Forte. With an excellent Forte teacher on the other side of your screen, you’ll have a customized learning experience in each and every online lesson.

With Forte Pure Audio, you’ll enjoy the highest audio resolution available so the most human and expressive aspects of music making, like tone color, dynamics, articulation, and musical nuance, are no longer sacrificed, just because your lesson is online.  The sound is great, so your lesson can be, too.
