In the late 1990s, I was involved in a startup called Interactive Music. The site was the first online music school. Users could come to the site and take lessons from software that was accessible on the site. We eventually sold the site for a tidy profit, but the site itself became obsolete with the advent of cheap accessible streaming video and lives feeds. Several sites provide useful online lessons for such things as music, dance lessons , children’s education, and golf . However, with no disrespect to those who have earned online degrees, I have always suspected that nothing can replace the immediacy and efficacy of face-to-face instruction.
LessonsCentral.com seems to understand that fact, and instead of offering lessons online, the site merely seeks to manage the relationship between the instructor and student. Based in LaJolla, California, and launched in June of 2008. LessonsCentral.com offers a free service for coaches, tutors, instructors, and their students.
The site offers a state of the art scheduling system that allows students and instructors to better manage appointments. The search feature allows students to search for local instructors in a variety of categories. The site also features messaging and payment tools. Instructors can add existing students to their profile.
You need to be 13 years old and the site is limited to United States residents.
LessonsCentral.com is a useful tool for students looking for instructors, but I imagine it will prove invaluable to instructors, as it allows for free use of a system that would cost a pretty penny if the instructors purchased or develop a similar system on their own.
