For most of us, there are just not enough hours in the day, especially for busy families, business professionals, or students involved in multiple
activities. Families are often forced to choose between one activity or another because each additional activity requires additional preparation
time (packing up gear and arriving early), travel time, and lesson time …for both the parent and the student.
We also realize that there are a number of families that live in areas with harsh climates and excessive traffic. If you live in the south
or in highly populated areas, it means not having to fight the hot traffic while trying to get to your lesson. And for those of us who
live in the north, it means not having to decide between missing a class that you already paid for, or driving your family on icy roads
through a dangerous snowstorm.
To accommodate students/families in these situations we’ve opened up online lessons. The online lesson format is very similar to
a private lesson; it’s a half-hour to an hour lesson of personal instruction with Katie DeNure.
With a background in audio and video production, we understand the importance of clear and accurate audio and video. We have invested heavily in high-quality microphones, audio capture devices, lighting, and video cameras. Much of which is actually used during our private online lessons. It’s important to us that you are able to hear clear vocals and accurate instrumentals, without the room distortion or background noise that you get on a built-in laptop mic or with most of the entry-level microphones. We also have a fast upload speed, so you’ll be able to view our time together in high-definition.
Did you know that the average student forgets 30-70% of what they learned within just a few hours of their lesson? On top of that, each day
that passes by without practice, the student will lose another 50% of what’s left. Needless to say, the last thing a parent or student
wants is to be paying for lessons (plus drive time and gas), only to spend most of their lesson time relearning old content from the previous
week.
A free option available to all of our online students is to have their lesson recorded. This allows students to review EVERYTHING they
learned in the previous lesson, not just the parts they can remember; and they can do it at a time when they are most receptive to learning.
It also creates a new level of transparency between the parent and teacher, allowing parents to review all of the content that their children
are learning.
For students who want to expand on what they’ve learned during their classroom time, they also have access our always-growing library of instructional videos via our YouTube channel.
This combination truly creates an opportunity for full lesson-retention, and puts students in a position where they are able to progress
at a much faster rate compared to traditional music lessons.
