The IBMA Awards Show is the centerpiece of the World of Bluegrass Week September 26 – October 2 in Nashville, Tenn., which also includes the IBMA Business Conference and Bluegrass Fan Fest. The ArtistWorks Academy of Bluegrass will have a stand in addition to being sponsors of the awards. The IBMA Awards will be broadcast live on Sirius XM Satellite Radio (Bluegrass Junction, Channel 61) and also will be syndicated to more than 300 U.S. markets and 14 foreign networks.
The ArtistWorks Academy of Bluegrass has quickly become the world's leading online site for those wanting to learn bluegrass banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar or bass. The ArtistWorks Academy of Bluegrass consists of five schools: the School of Banjo with Tony Trischka, School of Mandolin with Mike Marshall, School of Fiddle with Darol Anger, School of Guitar with Bryan Sutton and School of Bass with Missy Raines.
Unlike other video-based sites and DVDs, this innovative online music academy gives students the opportunity to send their teacher a recorded video of themselves practicing and receive personal feedback and individualized instruction in the form of a video response. All Video Exchanges between teacher and student are posted for all subscribing members to see and learn from.
Commenting on the sponsorship of the years awards, ArtistWorks Director of Marketing Chris DeNatale said:
"It has been a honor sharing the IBMA mission of bringing Bluegrass Music and quality Bluegrass Education to as many people as possible. The IBMA and the entire Bluegrass community have been so welcoming to The ArtistWorks Academy of Bluegrass online and we are very excited to take part in this fantastic event."You can learn more about the ArtistWorks Academy of Bluegrass by going to www.academyofbluegrass.com
