Sometimes it can be crazy to figure out what resources you’d need to be able to get started in learning a new language. It seems scary, but exciting at the same time. What’s great with the internet is that you can find resources very quickly but considering the plethora of resources out there, which one would you pick? Here are a couple of recommendations that we have at the Music and Language Learning Center to help you support your journey. ​

Teaching music online may not sound like the easiest thing to do. How do you engage students? How do you help them solve problems when you’re not there with them? How can you show them examples when you’re limited to a tiny little screen? While there are some obstacles that we may encounter, there are a variety of benefits that actually make it so that you are able to create meaningful connections with students. 

Now, sometimes, it is not an easy feat as we deal with a variety of different students. There are some students that take online music classes because they were ‘voluntold’. However, there are students who are genuinely interested and if you are able to create a meaningful connection, they will stay with you.​

The pandemic in 2020 forced families into online learning as it was the only way to be able to learn. We saw online educational organizations boom with students from different parts of the world sharing a virtual space with other students that they would not have otherwise met. While studies have shown the psychological and social effects the pandemic had on the human population, the concept of online learning has since evolved and has since changed how we receive education. There is no replacement for in-person lessons, but instead online classes have evolved as another form of learning. 

While the pandemic turned our world upside down (literally), online learning allowed students the time to be able to further develop their knowledge and skills in other areas.
