How It Works (performance based learning)

The lesson will begin with you recording a video or audio using the Ashbury Music Hall recording tools. (Videos are preferred since I can check out your fingering positions) It's easy.  Talk about your musical goals and record a short demonstration of where you are with your playing at the moment.  I will post my response, get you started on your first assignment, and we will be on our way! 

Your virtual lesson web page is created just for you and is private so you don't have to be shy about other people hearing your practice and progress. I will be the only person who has access to your lessons and videos (and the Ashbury Music Hall webmasters).

The session is $195 (That's only $39.00 per lesson!) I will review up to 3 of your video posts per session / lesson module. This course has 5 modules = 15 video reviews. (5 min. max on each video) and give you suggestions and examples.  I will answer your posted questions with appropriate media (text documents, video, audio, related links).  Once you get started & are ready for subsequent material,  You can move on to the next assignment.  You have access to all the content we create 24/7 allowing you to learn when YOU want!  Start a new lesson when you are ready.  Lessons are active for 4 weeks.

Watch the video below to see how easy it is to get started!
