Research-based insights:
For many young students, a one-on-one lesson is just too intense.
Many students learn better within a peer-learning context, especially while they are beginner students.
Students get the opportunity to regularly play in front of other people, reducing performance anxiety.
Students hear other students ask questions they may not think to ask. This can lead to a deeper, richer learning experience.
There’s more of a sense of accountability and healthy competition when it comes to practicing between lessons.
Students develop the skill of playing with others straight away, which improves their ability to play in time and understand music.
Students are asked to demonstrate something or teach others, reinforcing what they’ve learned, and giving them a little ego boost in front of the class.
Students develop a sense of their own progress compared to other students in a group.
Musical games are more fun in a group.
Lifelong friendships form in group classes, making the learning experiences positive, impactful and fun.
#1 Family Choice:
Group lessons are longer than 1:1 lessons (50 vs 30 mins) and are more cost-effective.
Group lessons typically include an independent learning element where students develop the skills to effectively focus and practice alone without the teacher / parent supervision.
With kids gaining more confidence in a group setting, parents see a noticeable and positive improvement in their child’s character and leadership.
Group Lessons can provide a stepping stone up the value ladder to more expensive lessons when parents know their child is serious.
Sometimes you can have siblings in the same class, meaning parents don’t have to wait around twice as long.
With the naturally more competitive and social environment group lessons provide, parents don’t have to work so hard at telling their kids to practice because there’s often a stronger desire from the student to do that themselves.
