Why You Can Not Get Free Online Training in Playing

This may come as a shock to some!

In order to help online for free, most instructors try to generalize a student, THEIR idea of a student.

Then their work, whether video or manual, starts with that "generalized student." Usually, this is a person who will purchase their course or whatever.

youtube.com and other such sites are great for learning IF the circumstances permit it.

Who knows, you might not have a computer at home to listen and watch.

Listening to music can be a part of your learning experience. Notice I said it "can be" but it doesn't have to be.

Honestly, if you want personalized service, whether instruction or performance, you will have to seek out a PERSON who can listen to you.

If you want instruction, it's worthwhile to phone some teachers. Do not take a class or anything that requires the instructor to not take your special needs into consideration.

If it's performance, then you know what your people like, whomever "they" are, and can tell the performer what that is.

I, personally, always start my services with an interview so I know what the student is seeking and how they best learn.
