Online Lessons with Volley!
Arkansas EFA Learns Act approved!
At George Guitars, we believe learning music should feel personal, fun, and flexible – never a one-size-fits-all course. That’s why we’ve added online private lessons using Volley, a video-based app that lets us teach just like we do in person. Instead of canned pre-recorded classes, the student gets a real back-and-forth with us every week: they send a short video showing their practice, and we send a personal response with feedback, encouragement, and the next step forward. Lessons are the same monthly cost as our in person lessons. It’s the same energy, interaction, and laughter you’d get in our studio – just without the drive time and scheduling.
🎶 How It Works
1. Sign Up Online
Start by filling out our quick Registration Form and view our Student Onboarding packet!
2. Get Your Invite
We’ll send you a private link to join our George Guitars space on Volley.
3. Join the Class
Sign up for your free Volley account – you’ll only need one account per family!
4. Wait for us to set up your channels
We’ll assign a private channel for each student in your family. In this channel only the account holder, student, and instructor can see these videos. Other students will not be able to view them!
5. First Lesson Video
We’ll send the first 10 – 15 minute video to kick off your lessons.
6. Student Video
Each week, record a 10 – 15 minute practice video in your channel (we suggest Monday – Wednesday). Don’t worry about perfection – mistakes are welcome!
7. Teacher Feedback
We’ll send back a 10 – 15 minute personalized feedback video to your channel, usually Thursday – Sunday.
8. Weekly Lesson Cycle
One lesson = 1 student video + 1 teacher feedback video each week.
💡 Why Students Love Online Lessons
Flexibility – Learn on your own schedule. Record and watch videos whenever it fits your life.
No Pressure – Videos don’t have to be perfect. Play, talk, make mistakes, laugh – it’s all part of the process.
Personal Connection – Every lesson is one-on-one with Leslie or Randall, not a generic course or pre-recorded program.
Consistent Progress – Weekly back-and-forth keeps you practicing, learning, and improving steadily.
Comfort of Home – No rushing across town or waiting for your turn – your music space becomes your classroom.
Same Value as In-Person – You get the same energy, feedback, and encouragement, just with added flexibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this private?
Yes! Each student has their own private thread that only you, your child, and Leslie & Randall can see. Other families cannot view your videos.
Q: Do we need a separate login for each child?
No. Parents create one login per family. All of your children’s threads will appear under that one account.
Q: How long should the videos be?
Teacher videos are usually 10 – 15 minutes. Student replies are also typically 10 – 15 minutes
Q: Do I have to hold the record button the whole time?
No. Just tap once to start recording, set your phone down, and tap again when finished. Hands-free recording works great for playing instruments.
Q: What if we miss a week?
No problem – videos stay in your thread so your child can catch up anytime.
Q: What if we miss an in-person lesson?
No problem! If you can’t make it to your in-person session, you can substitute that week’s lesson with an online lesson through Volley. We’ll send you a personalized video and you’ll still send back your practice video, just like our regular online students. That way, you never miss a week of learning and progress keeps moving forward.
Q: Do we still use Remind?
Yes. We’ll continue to send announcements (like holidays, closings, and special events) through the Remind app. Volley is only for lessons.
Q: What devices work with Volley?
iPhone, iPad, Android phones/tablets, Chromebooks (via Chrome browser), PCs, and Macs.
Q: Do we have to pay extra for Volley?
Nope! Volley is free for families. Your normal George Guitars lesson tuition covers everything.
✨ That’s it! If you get stuck, just reach out to us – we’ll walk you through setup the first time. Once you’re in, it’s as easy as texting, but with video!
