Soli Music Mentorship

A free, peer-to-peer mentorship community for student musicians. High schoolers mentor younger music students in exchange for mentorship from college musicians. The chain keeps growing wherever there’s demand for it.

Soli student musicians mentoring younger players

A cascade, not a classroom

Mentorship at Soli runs downhill, one generation of students to the next, and then loops back into itself. Nobody pays for a lesson, and nobody teaches without having first been taught.

  1. College & conservatory musicians

    Volunteer mentors who’ve studied their instrument seriously give lessons to high schoolers. No fee. No obligation beyond showing up.

  2. High school musicians

    Mentored by the stage above them, then they turn around and mentor middle and elementary schoolers in their own section or instrument family.

  3. Middle & elementary schoolers

    They get one-on-one attention years before most students ever see a private teacher, from someone only a few years ahead of them.

  4. Future mentors

    Every mentee is a mentor-in-waiting. The point of the program is that today’s student becomes tomorrow’s teacher.

What a session looks like

The format is deliberately light-touch, built around what students can actually keep up with alongside school and their own practicing.

Recorded submissions, async feedback
Send in a recording of a passage or piece and get specific, written feedback back. No scheduling needed for a quick check-in.
30-minute virtual lessons
Live one-on-one sessions with a student mentor, held over video call, focused on whatever the mentee is working on that week.
Technique, rhythm, intonation, tone, expression
Mentors work across the fundamentals, not just note-reading, and help build the practice habits that make progress stick.
Flexible scheduling
Built around school schedules on both sides of the mentorship. Sessions get arranged directly between mentor and mentee.
