Due to the current health crisis, Sydney Guitar School has moved all lessons and classes, including ensemble classes and music theory/musicianship classes online. Our three studios in Five Dock, Kirribilli and Sydney CBD have all had to close for the time being and it has been an emotional but positive journey towards online teaching and learning methods. In the climate of today, many instrumental teachers have had to adapt and re-think their mode of delivery, so that students can still receive their weekly fix of musical instruction and the teacher can still make their livelihood much more viable in these uncertain times - It's a testing time for all. The arts have been hit in a big way with cancellations of performances for the foreseeable future. Many of my local and international performances have been put on hold.
At Sydney Guitar School all our teachers were faced with learning the necessary skills, within a very limited timeframe to make the jump to online. For over a month, I was testing, trialling and refining the methods of delivery at the guitar school, in the event that we had to close face-to-face instruction. With the support of my amazing team at SGS and the awesome students, we were able to innovate our way of delivering not only our one-to-one lessons, but were able to continue to offer our traditional and popular guitar ensemble classes and music theory/musicianship classes. Guitar ensemble online one might say? Yes, they are going great online - whilst the traditional way of ensemble; where all students play together and hear everyone together doesn't happen online, we have come up with other ways where students can still participate and enjoy the ensemble experience, enjoy the music they love playing, get their technical fix and also continue the great sense of community that all SGS have enjoyed over the past 6 years since we have been delivering classes!
We are using the online platform called Zoom to deliver all our classes (Skype and Facetime can also be used). There are pros and cons to any technology, but there are many functions and features with Zoom that allow the teacher to make the classes more interactive. We have also re-designed all our classes through the Sydney Guitar School Online learning platform, a digital interface, which makes all our content of ensemble and theory classes accessible to anyone 24/7! It's almost like a 24 hour gym - people want to have their fix of guitar around the clock and the guitar school is available this way! All the material is there - the music, the sound recordings and practice recordings and technical work.
We understand that this may be an unsettling period for members of our community. Music and the arts can play an important role in these uncertain times, offering comfort, calm and a stronger sense of connection and community. Feel the power of music! We all need to keep up to our regular activities for our own personal health and well-being and it is amazing to have the support of the SGS community and my wonderful colleagues.
