What We Do
A 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, Virtuosi mentors provides free, online music mentorship sessions for elementary and middle school students.
We are a group of passionate high school musicians who hope to continue engaging with our community through music under social isolation. We strive to share our stories as performers, give advice, and most importantly, guide and help younger musicians who wish to further their musical journeys during the COVID-19 pandemic in every way possible.
We are more than just practice coaches. These sessions mean a lot more than just simple practicing - our mentors are here for guided musical development, technique help, or just as a friend to talk to to alleviate your loneliness during this time. Mentors and mentees talk about their favorite songs, their interpretations of music, as well as other events that are going on in our daily lives.

From Families
Both of my two sons started lessons with the music mentors since April. All of these high school mentors are very patient with kids and very responsible. We have excellent experience with them and really appreciate the special accompany during this hard time.

My child’s singing has improved a lot since we signed up for our mentor's sessions. We are very, very grateful for her hard work and enthusiasm. This has made our life during the coronavirus pandemic much more productive and less boring.

My mentors are very hardworking and they helped me learn piano and improve very quickly. They are fun and friendly. The teaching atmosphere is very casual and relaxed. And you can tell them about your life troubles or something (not that you need to). The program is also free. I would really recommend them.

My mentor has been helping Celine practice piano since this March. She was amazing. She was very patient and helpful in teaching Celine piano. Celine became much more comfortable playing with new songs after the class.
