What’s the #1 reason to study at Music for All Occasion Online Studios?
Our instructors are warm and friendly, and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with you to craft a lesson plan that fits your individual needs and the student’s favorite type of music. Whether you’re playing in local bands, a seven year old taking their first lesson, or a seventy year old returning to the trumpet after many years, we’ll set goals to achieve your musical aspirations.
How qualified are our instructors?
Our music instructors have received their education from prestigious institutions such as Northwestern University, Ohio State University, University of Minnesota, Carnegie Mellon University and Kent State University. We are your neighbors! Many of our teachers have toured the US and internationally, performed with stars and recording artists. Our instructors bring decades of professional performance and teaching experience to your lessons.
What will I learn from instructors at Music For All Occasions?
Beginner students can expect to work on notes, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. Our instructors balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson presents new technical challenges or theory concepts, and ends with something fun, such as your favorite riff or song. We use a variety of method books, including the one used in your child’s music program at school.
Additionally, our instructors can assist with the more advanced student who is preparing for solo performance, ensemble auditions, or university auditions.
Do I need to own an instrument to learn the instrument?
Yes, to practice at home, you will need to have an instrument available. However, you do not need to purchase an instrument as we can coordinate an instrument rental agreement with local vendors.
Are Online lessons as effective as in-person lessons?
Although there are some differences, multiple studies on distance learning, have shown that students are 36% more focused and perform 22% better when compared to in-person instruction. We also take advantage of Zoom’s High Fidelity Music Mode, which was developed in partnership with the Yale School of Music. This ensures that your teacher can hear every detail of your playing during each lesson.
What do I need to begin lessons?
After purchasing lessons, all you need is a computer or phone with a built-in microphone and webcam. After booking you will be sent a link that connects you with your teacher at the scheduled time with two clicks.
