Thanks to the thousands of free music tutorials on YouTube, learning has never been easier. However, while the internet makes things convenient, an academy provides something that videos can’t offer—professional learning.
Structure of Learning Vs Lack of Structure
The videos on YouTube have no particular order; one shows basics and then the next one goes into advanced levels. This causes a lot of confusion.
On the other hand, a professional academy ensures the following:
- Step by step learning process
- Proper order in learning (beginner to advance)
- Specific objectives for learning
Expert Direction & Constructive Feedback
There is no expert who can point out your errors in case you are practicing wrong on YouTube without even knowing about it.
However, in an academy for professionals:
- Trainers will direct your techniques
- Errors are immediately corrected
- Feedback is provided according to individual needs
This will help you learn fast and prevent any wrong practices.
Hands-On Experience & Performance Practice
Musical instruments require practice and performance skills.
YouTube teaching does not provide the following:
- Hands-on practice sessions
- Stage practice experience
- Confidence in performing
Academies give you the chance to practice your performances and get rid of stage fright.
Improvement in Learning of Technical Skills
Video watching is very far from training.
During your training at an academy, you will:
- Learn voice modulation (for singers)
- Learn finger technique (instruments)
- Learn rhythm and timing
All these technical skills demand individual training.
Individualized Attention
YouTube is a “one size fits all” platform.
It does not change according to your abilities.
Professional academies provide:
- Batch sizes
- Individual attention
- Learning plan based on your ability
Professional Setting & Equipment
Studying from home is often very distracting and resource restricted.
A professional school will offer:
- Studio setting
- Excellent equipment
- Concentrated learning setting
This increases the quality of your playing.
Certifications & Career Possibilities
YouTube does not give you any certifications.
Some professional schools offer:
- Certifications
- Exam prep courses
- Music career guidance
This is important if you plan to play music professionally.
