Venture Lab Project #2 proposes a web and mobile-based piano lesson platform called New Age Piano Lessons. The platform aims to provide flexibility for scheduling lessons, supplemental online instructional content, and a directory of participating music instructors. It would allow students to manage their lessons, access additional practice resources, and communicate with instructors between in-person meetings. The proposal suggests this approach could make learning piano more convenient, engaging, and effective for students.
