Correspondence Guitar Coaching & Lessons!

What are Correspondence Guitar Coaching & Lessons?

Correspondence Guitar Coaching & Lessons are where the student and teacher correspond via video and audio files, as well as through email and other written mediums like links and articles (from GuitarKitchen, for example).

Correspondence Guitar Coaching & Lessons are personalized. But there’s no set meet up time, and it’s very budget friendly.

If you’re interested in private guitar lessons, please check out Skype/Zoom/FaceTime online guitar lessons!

How Correspondence Coaching & Lessons (for learning guitar) Work

1. You record a video (or audio, if you prefer) of you playing music
   • You’re welcome to contact me at this point (or before).
   • Or you can just send me the link to your video when you’re ready (and the video and/or audio is uploaded)
   • Contact Me at Guitar Kitchen
2. You can also ask questions, etc.
3. Please record video under 10 minutes, you can probably get most ideas in with a video under 5 minutes.
   • Currently 2 options offered under 5 minutes & under 10 minutes.
4. You would then upload/post the video (or audio) and send me the link
   • You can use YouTube, Google Drive or DropBox or another similar service.
   • You can make videos unlisted on YouTube, so only certain people can see them.
   • Contact Me at Guitar Kitchen
5. I would check out the video.
6. I would record a video (and/or audio plus some text, too) in response, with positive feedback, as well as some suggestions you may want to try to improve what you are working on.
7. You can send a one-time video/audio of your playing for ideas & suggestions.
   • You can also send something at your convenience.
   • Or set up recurring Correspondence Guitar Coaching & Lessons, like once a month
   • Or we can create a lesson plan – and check in once a week, twice a week, or biweekly.

Benefits of Correspondence Guitar Coaching & Lessons

• Allows the musician to review and hear their own playing
  • Listening to and reviewing your own playing is great way to learn, practice and improve music!
  • Make your Own Backing Track (5 Minute Practice Ideas)
  • Also, it’s a great way to go back and check out what you were playing in the past!
• Helps the musician polish up their performance and practice routines, both my reviewing what they create, and also giving them a goal to work towards (creating & submitting the video &/or audio)
• The teacher creates a response video/email/webpage with specific ideas that the student can review multiple times.
• Probably more economical than in-person or “Skype” lessons.
• Everyone learns in a variety of ways and video coaching may be a complementary approach for many students.
• For people who don’t have time for traditional lessons and/or a schedule that allows them to commit to regular lessons, Correspondence Guitar Coaching & Lessons could be a great option!

Cost

• 1st video coaching session free (and no further obligation necessary)
• 5 or less minute videos and response video would be $8 via PayPal
• 10 minute or less videos and response video would be $12 via PayPal
