History

In 2008, former AOL executive David Butler set out to finally master jazz guitar. With no acceptable teachers in his area, he and Patricia Butler eventually built a revolutionary online platform that enables anyone with an Internet connection to get ongoing, personal feedback from one of our hand-selected virtuoso teachers, on their own schedule, at their own pace.

In March 2015, ArtistWorks joined the GSV EdTech Innovation Labs in Silicon Valley and in June was awarded a US Patent on its core technology of Video Exchange Learning. In May 2017, the company received academic accreditation as a supplemental education provider from the Accrediting Commission for Schools at the Western Association for Schools and Colleges. In 2018, the new ArtistWorks “School of Music” launched their accredited music program online.
