15,000+ students took part in the largest music lesson in the world via VirtualPiano.net
Much-needed cheer for the world today! Legend Jamie Cullum inspired kids all over the world to fall in love with music and Virtual Piano gave them the tools to play. The largest music lesson in the world was hosted with the help of 15,000+ students on virtualpiano.net. Thanks to Universal Music and Island Records to back this initiative in support of Age UK.
The majority of students who didn't have access to a piano joined the lesson via Virtual Piano to play along and enjoyed the lesson via their computers, tablets and even smartphones.
