Private instrument lessons over the internet have traditionally reflected in-person lessons with instructor and student interacting only during their lesson time. However, most of the learning that happens for students takes place OUTSIDE of the lesson.
What sets lessons with Amanda apart from other online instructors are her innovations with:
🎹how students interact with their lesson materials at their own pace with their own custom website
🎵ways for students to perform with others with duets/trios and live-streamed concerts
🎸access to their instructor whenever they need help beyond their current abilities
The mission of Amanda's music lesson approach is whole-person education with the ultimate goal of self-efficacy through the Gradual Release Model. By identifying efficient practice techniques and realistic goal-setting through designing our lessons collaboratively, students take responsibility for their progress and thrive beyond their instrument instruction. Whether the goals start out to learn how to play simple songs or evolve into creating recording and video projects, students are able to go at their own pace through custom-designed synchronous and asynchronous materials. Her experience and student retention rate is enhanced by her own continued professional development as a dedicated lifelong-learner!

All of Amanda's students are encouraged to perform with livestream concerts! The stage is our usual Zoom classroom while the audience watches and interacts with us on YouTube Live through an invite-only link. After the showcase, the unlisted link can be sent to family and friends that missed out. Performance is an important stage in musical learning but is not required in this manner. We also have duet/trio recording & video opportunities, solo livestream showcases (for those who are ready to perform more than just 1 song at once for their own friends & family), and solo recordings for permanent performances.
