New Austin TakeLessons Music Teacher Brings Gypsy Jazz To The Masses
TakeLessons continues to hire music teachers nationwide, with a recent hire added in Austin, TX. The program combines in-person music lessons with an interactive, online account to help keep both students and teachers organized.
Online, November 9, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Facebook recently announced statistics that its users have shared their listening activity over 1.5 billion times in just six short weeks, proving the indisputable connection between music and the digital world. TakeLessons (http://takelessons.com), the nation's fastest growing private music lessons provider, has been modeling their services on this connection since 2006, matching up students with teachers and providing comprehensive online accounts to complement the services.
Recently, TakeLessons announced a new hire in Austin, Texas. James F. will be teaching guitar and music theory to students of all ages throughout the Austin area. James will be an excellent addition to the TakeLessons roster, which features instructors nationwide who have gone through a 7-step certification process.
James has performed and recorded around the Austin area with several different projects including The Bees Knees Revue, Erik Hokkanen and The Gypsy Tribe, and the Copperpots. He has created a niche for himself by specializing in lesser-known genres such as the gypsy swing and bossa nova, as well as more popular styles like folk and jazz.
"People all learn at different rates, some faster, some slower," said new teacher James. "My job as a teacher is to pinpoint my students' weaknesses in order to resolve them, and help them acquire skills at the fastest and most advantageous level possible."
TakeLessons takes students beyond just music lessons and offers a comprehensive user experience, with a personal online account to track scheduling, billing, and lesson journals all in one place. Current students have 24/7 access to their online accounts, and can connect with Student Counselors if they ever want to switch instructors or their lesson schedule.
Since its launch in 2006, TakeLessons has helped students pursue their passion for music by offering over 35 types of private music lessons that are taught by some of the nation's most talented local music instructors. The hiring of a new Austin music teacher adds to TakeLessons' emerging presence in the state of Texas, with lessons offered in San Antonio, Dallas and Fort Worth, as well.
