There are many great practice tips for music students, and some of the most effective involve using video. Video can enhance learning in several ways.
Imagine a student records their music teacher demonstrating how to play a song the proper way. Each time the student watches, they hear the correct rhythm and tone, notice staccatos, slurs, and rests, and see exactly how the hands and fingers move on the instrument. All of these factors accelerate learning — and MusicTeacherNotes takes it even further.
When a teacher plays a song, it’s usually faster than a beginner can handle. Slow practice is the better starting point. With a tempo control slider (available when connected to a Premium Teacher Plan), students can slow playback while maintaining the original pitch, so the key doesn’t change. That lets students play along at a comfortable speed.
MusicTeacherNotes also includes an innovative clipping feature (Premium teacher accounts) that lets students cut or “clip” the original video to focus on tricky passages. They can replay the clip at a suitable tempo and loop it for targeted, repeated practice. The result is faster mastery of the hardest parts through smart repetition.
Students always have free accounts. When a student is connected to a teacher with a Premium plan, these video tools — tempo control, clipping, and looping — are included at no cost to the student.
Repetition is a powerful learning technique. Combine a great private music teacher with MusicTeacherNotes’ practice tools to help students progress toward musical mastery much faster.
