Why Teach for Practicing Musician?

Practicing Musician believes traditional 30- or 60-minute private lessons need an update. Why?

1. Memory: Many students have trouble committing new techniques or theory concepts to memory due to the length of longer lessons.
2. Reinforcement: Students often practice incorrect techniques because they don’t have proper modeling while practicing at home – leaving you with the difficult task of helping them undo bad habits.
3. Cost: The average cost of private lessons nationwide is $60 per hour, which is much too expensive for many students – especially when they have to learn and relearn the same technique or concept for multiple weeks.

So we designed a micro tutoring model based on the most recent neurological and educational research to help save everyone time and save parents and students money without reducing teachers’ compensation.

At a high level, our music lesson model is very simple:

1. Assign: First, you facilitate student learning by assigning our free online tutorials, assignments, and compositions. Expert musicians create all materials, so it’s like each student has a private teacher in their home.
2. Learn: Second, students learn and practice on their own time, rewatching excellent modeling via tutorials as required to ensure full comprehension and minimize bad practice habits at no additional charge.
3. Feedback: Third, you provide feedback to students during their next 10-minute micro session to ensure they stay on track; then, the process repeats.

Our teachers quickly realize how superior our micro tutoring model is to traditional 30- or 60-minute private lessons, and we are confident you will too! That being said, successful micro tutoring is an art, so our education team has developed robust initial training and ongoing professional development to ensure your success.
