You don’t have to commit a weekly slot to a teacher in a busy life schedule. Online courses are perfect for adult students: pause, rewind, fast forward, jump through lecture, rewatch, slow down, and watch whenever/wherever you want Again, this saves them a lot of money – instead of booking 4-8 lessons per song, they can tackle 2 songs per lesson They only need a lesson or two to talk about the ‘higher tier’ stuff.
