FAQ’s

Why online? What’s the difference between online lessons and just learning from Youtube? Why not in-person?

Online lessons are conducted in the same way as in person lessons, just without me being in the same room as you. You’ll have personalized assignments that are adjusted based on your individual struggles or needs, and just like in an in-person lesson, you receive immediate feedback on what is and isn’t working as I’m right there with you!

You also eliminate the need for travel (no traveling in inclement weather) and can still have a lesson if mildly ill when otherwise you would not be permitted to attend. Students can study with me from any location as long as they have a good internet connection (great for students who travel for extended periods), short videos can be taken during the lesson for further review during the week if needed, and asynchronous lessons can be provided when you’re unable to make your lesson time.

I could list the benefits of online lessons for days, but the main differences between online lessons and YouTube is the immediate feedback, personalized lesson plans and assignments based on progress and individual student needs, and accountability, none of which you would get from Youtube videos!

Will you be providing in-person lessons in the future?

No, not for the foreseeable future. We may have some in-person events, and I still perform live, but at this time, online is what works best for my current life and family situation. I love teaching online and truly believe it to be extremely effective!

I’m so excited about the future of online music lessons as they allow music to be more accessible than ever while still maintaining the personal relationships and immediate feedback that you would get from in-person lessons!

What happens when I join the waitlist?

When I receive your waitlist submission, I will answer any questions you might have submitted, and let you know right away if I feel someone else might be a better fit for your situation. Otherwise, when I have a suitable space available, I will contact you and set up an interview (video call) where we will discuss details, show you a little preview of what online lessons are like, and answer any questions you or I may have! This way we can ensure we are a good fit for each other before moving forward.
