Online studies and programmes have been around for a longer time than you might realize. School boards and private teachers have embraced the advantages of working with students online to keep them engaged and to supplement the learning that goes on in their usual meetings.
The Covid-19 pandemic has really acted as a catalyst to get both students and teachers interested in fully exploring the many benefits of online study, rather than to focus on the drawbacks. The benefits of students and teachers staying connected via online lessons is far superior to not meeting at all. This method of connecting is now widely suggested more than ever in light of the necessity for social distancing.
I have long thought there are many advantages to working with students online. Such a method of connecting allows for a more convenient and frequent way of working together. It is important to keep students playing so that they stay motivated and engaged in their studies. Students will continue to progress and discover new concepts. They will benefit from the continuity of an ongoing connection with their teacher. Students will also continue to be introduced to new repertoire.
The pandemic dictated that I switch all my students to the online delivery of lessons for the near term. This unexpected change for lesson meetings proved how effective the mode of delivery is and confirmed all the potential that I saw in such meetings.
I absolutely think that online meetings work very well. Online studies should be considered as they offer many benefits. Students can more conveniently fit their music activities into their schedule. It is a way to bring students together with the teacher of their choice while not being restricted by travel distances or even geographic boundaries.
Several software developers have applications for the purpose of online meetings. These apps are constantly being developed, enhanced and revised more than ever before. There are several apps that can be used.
I look forward to discussing online studies with students who would like to consider this option.
This innovative approach to learning and music making will allow everyone the certainty of staying safe.
