Online learning is a great way to hone your musical skills and is a lot more versatile than many think in terms of the instruments you can learn from the comfort of your space. In addition to the “traditional” types of music, many expect to be able to learn online, singing and guitar, for example, did you know you can also learn brass instruments online? From the trumpet to trombone, and even the tuba, for those looking to either supplement their in-person learning or learn while on the go, Musicworks Canada is here to help you enhance your learning journey with quality lessons directly tailored to your needs and objectives. Below, we’ll explore some of the key benefits of online classes and offer a few tips for those who may be concerned about noise transfer when learning at home. Read on to learn more!
Flexibility and Convenience
One of the most obvious (and most appealing) benefits of online instrument lessons is their flexibility and convenience. For parents who have multiple children involved in different activities or busy adults who are always on the go, minimizing the need to commute to and from different locations can be extremely beneficial. Online lessons allow you to practice and learn in almost any environment that can accommodate your setup and make sure you don’t miss out if you have to travel or life throws a curveball in the way of your regular availability.
Access to Expert Instructors
Some musicians worry that online instruction won’t provide the same quality of instruction that you’d experience in the classroom. While this may be true with certain platforms (apps, YouTube tutorials, etc), Musicworks Canada takes pride in ensuring that our online classes offer the same level of instruction that our in-house sessions do. In most cases, students will have access to the same instructors they would at a local location, as well as highly experienced instructors from all across Canada. That means you’ll always have access to teachers who specialize in your preferred instrument and musical style, and who are dedicated to ensuring your online experience is as seamless and beneficial as possible!
Personalized Learning Experience
Online instruction is highly personalized (as are all Musicwork classes) and puts students in the driver’s seat by prioritizing their needs, catering to their existing experience level, and focusing on providing a solid foundation that gives them the tools they need to continue to excel. This customized approach ensures that you get the most out of each lesson, allowing you to advance with confidence.
Access to a Wealth of Resources
One of the best things about learning online music education platforms is that you gain the benefits of having a large resource base at your fingertips. From videos to practice exercises and interactive tools, Musicworks Canada makes sure that our online learners have a wealth of continued learning options to help with at-home practice and skill development outside of dedicated class times.
Minimizing Noise Transfer
One common concern with brass instruments (as well as percussion instruments) is noise transfer throughout the house or your preferred learning environment. With a little pre-planning and consideration, you can help reduce noise transfer. Tips for lowering your volume while practicing brass instruments include: – using a practice mute, a specialized device designed to fit in the bell of brass instruments to reduce volume without altering the pitch
– Select your practice area carefully, favouring areas with built-in insulation or walls that are less likely to allow noise to travel through. Basements are a great fit where possible!- Invest in soundproofing measures like affordable tiles, thick curtains, carpets, and other specialized equipment to help prevent vibrations from travelling through walls and gaps between doors etc.
