It is important to learn to read sheet music, as well as learning to play by ear. Selecting the proper "teacher"
is also crucial to learning to play an instrument. Remember: That teacher need not be a person! We'll discuss
the benefits of using music lesson software and books versus the old-fashioned way: hiring a paid-by-the-hour
music tutor. While this may still be the best option for very young students, most adults will benefit from an
approach that promotes self-study. We recommend that you use a "virtual teacher" in combination with
videos, computer software, music games and lesson books. Here on YourMusicTeacher.com you'll find software
designed for the beginner but challenging enough for the intermediate to advanced musician.
