Because I am aware how tight the budget can be for teachers, I offer both a small studio license (1-9 students) and large studio license (over 10 students) at different rates. If you are a current small studio that is looking to grow into a large studio, I request that you purchase the license that fits your goals. However, if you’re a side-job teacher who only keeps under 10 students for life, then the small studio license is just for you.

If you have theory knowledge, then you’ll be able to understand the theory behind the concepts. However, if you don’t know theory, I either teach you the theory you need to know or give you tips that you can use without needing years of theory training.

Amanda uses very easy to understand examples! This is so helpful for any level but especially for beginners! The in-depth explanation of the way to get I, IV and V cords was awesome! This is easy enough a nonplayer could understand but it will apply to any level, brilliant!
The playback speed recommendation was also a very needed point, good way to help the slower folks!
Amanda did a fantastic job by playing the songs in all 12 keys. Again, a simple approach for a beginner to move through this and yet deep enough for those more advanced in note reading and such.
Highly recommend this for any level student but also for teachers! Would work well in group settings too!
If you want to start playing hymns quickly while getting a solid foundation of how to play in every key, this is the perfect starting point! Amanda has thoughtfully put together a complete course that will help you learn how to play the basic chords in every key giving you flexibility and an understanding of what you are playing. The videos, handbook and lesson plans are super manageable and you can go at whatever pace best suits you! Definitely worth the investment!
