Our TeacherFest webinar “Best Practices for Teaching Guitar and Other Fretted Instruments” was hosted by top Lessonface instructors Matt Franceschini, Polly Bolton, and Leah Kruszewski. Facilitators drew from their experience teaching a variety of fretted instruments: Matt teaches ukulele and nearly all styles of guitar (metal, rock, blues, jazz, and more); Polly specializes in mandolin, banjo, clawhammer banjo, and Irish bouzouki; Leah teaches classical, flamenco, and Loog guitar.  

Thanks so much to amazing vocal instructors Aubrey Laurens, Jenessa Logel, and Jerrica Alyssa for sharing their experiences and insights in our Teacherfest Webinar on Best Practices for Teaching Kids at Lessonface.  

Here’s a summary of the information shared and topics discussed in the session.

Erika Skye Andres and Willem Moolenbeek hosted our 2023 TeacherFest session on Best Practices for Teaching Woodwinds Online on Monday. With thousands of hours teaching online, these excellent teachers have an incredible wealth of knowledge about online flute and saxophone lessons, and so we are very grateful that they shared their excellent outline for the session with us. Thanks too to Jupiter, who generously sponsored this excellent session.
