Emily Zimmer is our Lessonface teacher of the month for May 2019! Emily has taught on Lessonface since September of last year, and since has been students' favorite and go-to teacher for guitar lessons, bass lessons and songwriting. We asked Emily to share some of her experience and words of wisdom! Watch the full interview on the Youtube video embedded below.
After several years of teaching adults and children to play the violin, I’ve discovered a striking difference in the way that adults and children approach the idea of practicing.
When adults start taking music lessons, they usually have a goal in mind. They want to learn to play their favorite songs, or be able to play in church. These goals make them intrinsically motivated to practice. When life gets busy, many adult students lament over their decrease in practice time.
Do you have a young child who just can't wait to start online guitar lessons this fall? Students age five to seven need more parental involvement than most, especially at the beginning. Learn these fundamentals so that you can help your child start off right.
Join in for the Lessonface spring recitals in June. We have a few different dates and times of day to accomodate students' various time zones and schedules. Those details and more are in the sign up form.
Hopefully it goes without saying, but just in case you're wondering -- there is no fee for participating in the recitals and all current Lessonface students are invited to take part.
Often it’s the smallest changes that can lead to the biggest improvements. This kind of change can be made using three affordable equipment upgrades I recommend for any beginner clarinetist (these are also great upgrades for anyone who wants higher quality basic equipment). The main outcome of each of these upgrades is more ease of playing and aid in producing a more beautiful tone.
