benefits of learning online rather than private lessons
By Kevin | April 3, 2008
Learning Music online and with DVD’s and books has a great many advantages for many people.
Firstly you can Learn at your Own Pace - you dont need to rely on the teacher giving you the next steps in your learning
Secondly you can Learn your own style of music - you aren’t influenced by the teachers particular musical tastes and experience.
Learning online does have distinct advantages, however it should be used as part of your learning mix and not your only method.
At the Fun Music Company we are experienced musicians and teachers, and we’d never recommend that you learn only online - because it really doesn’t give you the most ideal learning environment.
Here is the learning mix which all people should experience to learn an instrument:
- Learning from Video and Instructional lessons, both offline and online
- Learning from a teacher, preferrably face to face
- Learning from doing - playing in a band, learning in a group.
If you learn using all three of these methods you’ll have the greatest chance of learning your instrument the fastest and learning the most in the smallest amount of time
