Do you want to learn to play the fiddle, but you need more guidance than our free video courses can provide? Do you want to make the most of your practice time, and progress as quickly as you can? Whether you play violin, viola or cello, try virtual Dropbox lessons with AltStrings founder, Caroline McCaskey!
With your Dropbox Lessons subscription plan, you will receive:
- a customized lesson plan designed to meet YOUR goals in the most efficient way possible
- customized lesson videos of Caroline demonstrating exactly WHAT you should practice and HOW, in your own private folder on Dropbox
- feedback daily during the week (and often on weekends)
- Upload as much or as little playing as you want — these lessons are all about you and your goals!
If you’re a beginner or early intermediate player, I recommend starting with AltStrings’ free video course for violin (or the free video course for orchestra class if you play the viola or cello.) This subscription plan is the perfect complement to this high-quality, free instruction. (If you go this route, be sure to get the book to go with it! The videos accompany the books for an immersive educational experience.)
Other topics you may be interested in:
- learning lots of new tunes
- technique (violin or viola)
- tone production
- chopping/chordal accompaniment
- writing harmonies or original tunes
- ornamentation
- improvisation
- getting the rhythmic “groove” in your bow
- Let’s learn what YOU want to learn!
Once you’ve subscribed to the plan, I will email you with how to set up your Dropbox folder to share your playing, and get the kind of gentle, respectful, constructive feedback you need to improve!
UNlLIMITED Dropbox Lessons with Instructor Feedback on Patreon. Only $25/month!
This plan includes unlimited video uploads to Dropbox or Google Drive for the student and corresponding responses from the teacher via Dropbox, Google Drive or email per month. It is strongly recommended that you begin with recording a “Get to Know Me” video in the first month, where you should introduce yourself and let me know what you hope to get out of your lessons, and play a little bit if you aren’t totally new to the instrument. This will give Caroline a chance to assign you some things to work on right away! Note: please keep all individual videos under 10 minutes long, shorter if possible. (Remember, you can upload as many as you want, so be sure to hit “pause” once in a while. 🙂 )
Your subscription plan includes unlimited email support, in which you can get your questions answered, clarify anything Caroline said in your lesson video or practice notes, or communicate about your goals!
As a bonus, you get access to ALL past sheet music published on the AltStrings YouTube Channel. This is an incredible value, that will only get more valuable as the library expands!
This is an incredible value (private lessons with Caroline are normally $80/hour), so you really have nothing to lose. (On the other hand, if you are interested in private lessons, please contact Caroline).
Also, for the technically challenged – if you subscribe and just can’t figure out how to get the tech to work, or if you never upload a video for any reason whatsoever, I’ll issue you a refund. I want you to get as much value out of this opportunity as possible!
