I wanted to make a post about me teaching online music lessons and how you can contact me should you want to take some with me. This is sort of a q&a post where I answer some of the most frequently asked questions that come up when someone is searching to start online lessons.
What kind of lessons do I teach? I teach music lessons for various instruments. I teach lessons for guitar, of course, electric bass, ukulele, mandolin, voice, and music theory. I have received some sort of training on all of these instruments and subjects and love sharing with students.
Do you teach beginners? What about if I’m an intermediate or advance student? Yes, to all of these questions. I do teach beginners as well as students who might already know how to play their instrument.
What are lessons like? I think that each week every lesson is different with every student. This depends on a lot of factors really. My hope is that lessons are an enjoyable and mutually beneficial experience for both you, the student, and myself, the teacher.
Do you use method books? Generally, I do like to follow and / or reference some type of method book or text. I see method books as more of guides that we can use to provide some structure to the learning process. I provide my students with lots of resources in addition to whatever method we both decide is best to use.
What’s cool about lesson? Why should I take them? The internet is a great resource for learning music. I will not say that it is not because it does a great disservice to all of the tools that help us all online. The reason that I think lessons with a teacher can be helpful is because it provides some level of feedback and some level of accountability. Having a teacher or instructor means that you have someone who can carefully guide and craft your music learning journey in a way that is most helpful. Learning from a teacher allows you to ask questions and receive answers in real time. Plus, taking lessons is fun.
How long are lessons? I offer lessons in blocks of 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 1 hour.
How much do lessons cost? If you’d like to know how much costs contact me through my contact form for more information.
Do you do video reviews? Yes, if now is not the right time to sign up for lessons, but you’d like for me to review a video of you playing and provide you some feedback, I can do that too. Contact me through my contact form to get started with this.
Okay! I think that this answers some of the most frequently asked questions about starting online music lessons.
I can’t wait to work with you!
