Subject: The Enemy of Student Progress

I wanted to share one more quote from the podcast that I did with Dave Simon last month.

“… I actually began to see games, and playing on the iPad, and performing for each other, and doing group technique exercises, I actually began to see that as the enemy to the goal that every party involved had. I want to keep students a long time, kids want to have fun, and parents want their kids to get a result and feel as if the money they are investing in music lessons is actually worth their time and worth the investment.And so the more repertoire that a child would acquire during each lesson, all three goals were being fulfilled… When you can deliver results like that, the marketing writes itself.”

A simple phrase comes to mind.

Good is the enemy of the great.

There’s nothing wrong with games, and technique, and technology, or even performance.

But, in 12 years of teaching group lessons, I’ve found that the most effective use of time is to focus children on repertoire acquisition.

Every other activity actually slows children down.

And, this is really the “secret” of my group lesson program. It’s why I have a super-majority of children coming back each year with Highest Honors scores from the Royal Conservatory.

Group lessons gives you time to instruct and to observe. It gives the child time to understand and to learn repertoire.

That’s the kicker! I never had enough time in the context of a 1-on-1 lesson to help children learn significant portions of their song.

In a group environment, my beginning students are learning 6-10 pages of songs in the lesson every week!

I could never go back.

And, I am excited to help others experience this success, as well.

In the past two years, I have helped over 200 studios convert to group lessons.

I’ve helped them overcome the challenges, I’ve helped them set up their program, I’ve helped them learn the most effective way to market and overcome objections

For larger studios, I’ve even helped train their staff on this powerful way of teaching.
