Lessons For All Guitar Learners: What’s Right For You?

In an ideal world, we’d all have ample time to pursue our hobbies and passion projects freely, but for many of us, the fast pace of the internet age has made in-person commitments to learning new skills increasingly difficult. However, due to the growing trends of YouTube, phone apps and online communications, becoming a student of just about anything has never been more accessible. YouTube and similar services are great methods of learning for some people, but they lack personalized feedback that we believe is so important for progressing on your instrument.

To celebrate the launch of Dylan Baker Music’s new internet-based learning opportunities, this month we’ll outline the differences of pursuing private or online lessons for students. Refer to this post to identify what may be right for you!

What You’ll Get With Private Lessons: 

  • Generally more effective than online lessons, but more expensive 

  • Personalized lesson plans, set at your own pace and tailored to your interests 

  • In-person feedback and exposure to new genres from a trained professional 

  • Increased accountability for a steady practice routine

  • Immediate help on technique and tone production

  • No potential technical issues with internet connection or poor sound control

What You’ll Get With Online Group Lessons:

  • More affordable than private lessons, but can be less effective

  • Learning happens out of the comfort of your own home

  • Recorded lessons for viewing at a time that’s convenient for you

  • Generalized feedback from a qualified instructor

  • Peer learning opportunities from an online community of like-minded people

No matter what kind of learner you are, there’s a guitar lesson to fit your needs.  Reach out to us at Dylan Baker Music to hear more about our private and online learning options.
