I expect to carry on this way until at least September and possibly beyond, worst case scenario is next year.
Having lessons whichever way is always better and you will make more progress faster too. Routine and consistency is key. I've taken learners who couldn't play before to playing competently within a year and that's all to do with that regular hour slot once per week. You get the full focus from me on certain areas that may be weak, and I can spot bad habits from the off. I give structure and usually know what songs to pick or what stage to move to next.
With the online stuff like Fender play or Yousician whatever its called there's not enough attention devoted to rhythm playing and getting the timing right. YouTube tutorials are too short (within 10 minutes) and way too fast for beginners to keep up, they end up giving up by the end of the video. Plus the all important thing, no one's there to give you feedback.
She has just got a violin and wanted to start off correctly etc.
Thanks for replies. Will try and find a teacher with zoom
Progress will depend on 2 things for me 1. The routine of the lessons (1 per week no missed weeks, no good if you do 2 in a row, miss 1, then another 1, miss another, etc etc.) 2. The quality of the practice i.e what you're actually doing in that time.
Obviously a good quality tutor who is working with you to achieve your goals is important, not just someone who can play good and just uses lessons to show off or print stuff off the internet and wing lessons!
Can definitely recommend.
