No More Excuses: Online Teaching is the Future
If you know me, you know how much I LOVE online teaching. The flexibility and freedom it gives, the ways it can grow your studio, and the joy it can bring to families that are outside of your community. I have been teaching online for more than ten years, and I can verify that it absolutely works! Despite the challenges that a switch to online teaching may pose, it is the future and I PROMISE it will be a positive switch!
In this episode, I invited Jennifer Sheehan, a vocal performer, online teacher and Juilliard graduate, onto the podcast to talk about the ways that online music teaching has changed her studio, her mindset, and her students. We talk methods, connecting with your students, utilizing social media for good, and so much more. Listen in to hear Jennifer's story and how you can make online teaching the future of your studio!
