What is distance learning? It sounds strange, but it’s a simple concept. It’s any form of remote education where the student isn’t physically present for the lesson. You’ve most likely been experiencing this amidst the COVID-19 crisis, as your child is now doing online schooling.
As the statewide quarantine continues, schools have had to turn to distance learning to continue to educate our children and prepare them for the future. At the Lewis Center Music Academy, we’re doing the exact same thing! A lot of people might wonder what the true value is of music lessons if they’re not in-person. The answer? Music lessons are still incredibly valuable right now, especially if your child was previously in lessons and took a break!
Our instructors are all well-trained in using Zoom, which we’ve used for music lessons for roughly a month at this point. We’ve done thousands of Zoom lessons successfully, and a lot of our families have let us know how grateful they are that music lessons still exist during this crisis.
For many children, a sense of normalcy is exactly what they need right now. Everything has shifted drastically. Things will continue to be rocky and uncertain for the next few months, especially for young children who aren’t used to such massive changes. This is our reality. However, keeping students in music lessons regularly is a great way to provide that level of consistency, routine, and stability that we as humans need.
Of course, distance learning is not some magical object that can replace in-person learning. There will always be tons of benefits to in-person education, but right now, as we’re all holding our breath and waiting for further developments, what we can do is keep doing what we’ve always done. And if that’s music lessons? We’re here for that. If you would like to get started with lessons please call us at 740-913-1718 or email us at info@lewiscentermusicacademy.com.
