Homeschooling Humans - creating future musicians

in homeschooling •  8 years ago  (edited)

 As a guitar player and homeschooling instructor I cannot say enough about the Yousician app. This scene is the common morning at our house.  Unprovoked, our kids are on the app and practicing the guitar via Yousician.    One of the best things about homeschooling is that we are able to  foster the much needed aspect of a desire to learn.  We figure out what  our kids want to learn and do what we can to let them figure things out  on their own.

Yousician has a  massive bank of skill sets and songs that incrementally teaches new  skills in an increasing level of difficulty... where its all accessible  by making even the hardest songs to play doable.  This is accomplished  by simply selecting a slower tempo to play along with.   I am  shocked at our 10 year old's level of progress in just a month she can  finger pick her way through riffs and even sing along to songs as she  plays. Detractors claim that Yousician lacks the human touch.   Well, that's where I come in!  As a guitar player, I can step in and  show the kids good technique and show them how to practice challenging  components of riffs through repetition.   I also love to play along with  the kids giving us heaps of jam time together in a very structured and  developmental manner, accessible to our kids.   I am a very  selective user of devices (I'll post on this another time) but clearly  this is a time when having a device is a very productive homeschooling  tool in our toolkit for our children.
