Advantages to Online Music Lessons

Online learning is growing like wildfire because there are great benefits. You can reach people without geographic boundaries. You can expand your teaching hours. You can inspire and inform students near and far, in the comfort and safety of your own home, or from a tour or travel.

Online learning means no commuting. Many teachers spend lots of their day going from student location to studio to student location to school - or their students travel to them, which is then a burden on the student or parent. With online lessons, you just need to log on, and there you are. Parents can be living their lives, instead of waiting in a car outside the teacher's studio for 30 minutes.

Online lessons and classes are a great way to teach and learn.

There are also many side benefits, beyond the geographics and convenience aspects. If you can think of others, comment below!

• No lugging instruments around, especially nice for large instruments.
• The online dynamic tends to make the time spent with the student very focused.
• You can continue with students even if you or they travel, or move, or if you live in more than one place. 
• You are very unlikely to catch a cold from a student (and vice versa)
• Parents, for young students, are able to dial into lessons from a third location.
• It's very easy to record the lessons
  • Lesson recordings (and notes and attachments added to the lesson) are securely stored for you and the student to refer back to at any time.
  • If a student is a no-show for their lesson, and doesn't provide adequate notice, you can easily record a couple exercises for later review, which helps the student feel a bit better about having paid.
