10 things you should know about the Online Course
1. The quality of a Masterclass in every lesson. You have the opportunity to study under the guidance of one of the best professional musicians in the world who specializes in this instrument, and without having to move from your home.
2. Forget class schedule and calendar. With the Online Course, it is easy to balance your private life with music study. No time constraints or teacher availability as with in-person or Skype classes.
3. High-quality video and audio. No need to buy expensive webcams or microphones, no problems with grainy video or noisy audio, as is the case in Skype classes.
4. Take class as many times as you like. Is something unclear to you, do you want to repeat and better review an exercise, an entire lesson, or a tune you have forgotten? Lessons can be viewed and replayed countless times.
5. High quality at an affordable cost. The Basic Course is equivalent to two years of lessons. The Course therefore caters to all those who want to study with a professional teacher without spending a fortune.
6. One piece of music, one lesson. Getting an in-person tune taught means at least 2 or 3 lessons. With the Online Course, each song is taught in one lesson, you pay just for one lesson, and you can repeat it as many times as you want.
7. The teacher is always by your side. A doubt, a question, or simply a desire to discuss musical and interpretive issues? Assistance and dialogue between teacher and student are always guaranteed.
8. Take a lesson in the key of your accordion. It doesn't matter what key your instrument is in. It's not a problem since all Online Course videos can be heard in the key of your accordion.
9. Customize your study plan. Are you no longer a beginner, but are you looking for specific teaching? Are you interested in a particular musical repertoire? Take only the lessons you need, based on your needs and musical tastes.
10. No technical limitations. Study wherever you want on any mobile device. The Online Course is compatible with all computers, both Windows and iOS, and all mobile devices such as smarthphones and tablets, both Android and Apple.
