Children are matched with musical instructors who serve as positive role models.How Does it Work?Arpeggia is designed to develop and enhance musicianship in individuals who want to learn about the language of music. Students, with the help of their mentors, explore the basics of music literacy and instrumental techniques through hands-on learning with the instrument of their choosing.What Do We Offer?Children gain the opportunity to develop their musical abilities and facilitate meaningful connections with instructors.College musicians gain real-life experience in music education.Parents see their children learn new skills.Schools supplement their music education program.How Do We Compare To The Competition?Music apps are fun and inexpensive but provide minimal education. Arpeggia’s curriculum is specifically tailored to ensure students have fun while developing real musical skills.The average private lesson costs $60/hour, making lessons inaccessible to many. In comparison, Arpeggia lessons are completely free.Private one-on-one instruction with out-of-touch professionals is endurable for some children, but our group classes and workshops not only teach music in a fun manner, it allows students to build their musicianship with a community.Who Are We?Arpeggia is a group of multitalented students from the University of Illinois dedicated to making music accessible to all communities. The founders consist of 4 musicians with 30+ years of music and education experience between them. Arpeggia was born after winning Startup 54, a start-up competition at the U of I.
