Vieaux states, "This will be my first visit to Mannes College of Music. It's an honor for me, because when I was growing up in Buffalo and just beginning to think about colleges, Mannes was one of the oft-mentioned places; it has such a rich history and legacy. And I'm so happy to return to Caramoor; the vibe with the audience last summer outside in the Sunken Garden was just terrific."

Also in June 2012, Jason Vieaux launches the Jason Vieaux Classical Guitar School from ArtistWorks. This revolutionary online school, the first of its kind for classical guitar, gives students of any age, ability, or location an unprecedented level of access to studies with Vieaux through ArtistWorks' Video ExchangeTM accelerated learning platform. The School includes a lifetime of lessons, covering from fundamentals through advanced techniques. Each video lesson is offered with multiple angles and in slow motion for optimal learning. In addition, students may submit videos of their own playing, which Vieaux responds to with a video lesson personalized for that student but viewable by the entire School. Other students benefit from viewing these interactions, creating an ever-evolving curriculum in a virtual master class environment.

Founded in 2008, ArtistWorks offers interactive music lessons from master musicians in a variety of different styles including rock guitar, jazz improv/gypsy guitar, finger style solo guitar, rock guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, acoustic bass, harmonica, jazz/fusion drums, rock drums, DJ scratching, classical piano and banjo.

Guitarist Jason Vieaux is expanding the definition of what it means to be a classical guitarist and changing the face of guitar repertoire, building a devoted audience and fan base along the way. Vieaux is a musician noted for virtuosic and stirring performances, imaginative programming, and uncommon communicative gifts. His collaborations with flutist Gary Schocker, harpist Yolanda Kondonassis, mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, and bandoneon/accordion virtuoso Julien Labro continue to display Vieaux's broad range of musical interests. Recent career highlights include solo performances at Lincoln Center, Spivey Hall, the Chautauqua Festival, and a return to Music@Menlo.

In the fall of 2011, he inaugurated The Curtis Institute of Music Guitar Department with guitarist David Starobin, and he has been Head of the Guitar Department of the Cleveland Institute of Music since 2001, a position he continues to hold. He is also affiliated with Philadelphia's Astral Artists, with which he gives annual outreach concerts.
