Best Practices for Online Music & Arts Instruction: TeacherFest 2023

Lessonface's 2nd annual TeacherFest, happening July 17-21, 2023, is now open for enrollment. Great music, language, and arts teachers are invited to take part in the week's activities for sharing information about teaching online, meeting one another, participating in giveaways for highly recommended online teaching tech, and learning from the staff at Lessonface about the latest features and capabilities of our platform for teaching and being treated equitably while doing it. 

TeacherFest Sessions will include:

• Nine roundtable discussions on best practices for online teaching, with sessions focused on languages, arts & crafts, kids, guitar and other plucked instruments, drums, strings, winds, voice, and piano - come hear the insights of experienced teachers, and share your own! 
• Find More Students Workshop: Student recruitment techniques and activities on and off of Lessonface
• Advanced Audio Strategies for Online Learning Seminar
• How to create a multi-cam set up using the free software open broadcasting studio (aka OBS)
• Teaching Tools Showcase: Curricula and app creators will present their work. If you're a curricula creator we invite you to submit now through July 12th to be considered as a presenter!
• TeacherFest Meet and Greet: Join the Lessonface staff for our TeacherFest kick-off! We'll be covering how the soon-to-be-released Lessonface catalog works, a bit about what's coming next for our learning communities, distributing 'gift bags' for attendees (while supplies last), introducing ourselves, and meeting you!

TeacherFest will also have loads of giveaways, with a big thanks to the TeacherFest sponsors, including Jupiter Band Instruments, Loog Guitars, Focusrite, Sennheiser, HUE Cameras, X-Tempo, and Southwest Strings – all brands that are heartily endorsed by the teaching community at Lessonface.

Great teachers inspire us to be our best, and the vast knowledge and experiences, when shared, can take our abilities to even greater heights. So we send a huge thanks, in advance, to the great teachers who will be joining TeacherFest as facilitators and as participants. As tech tools continue to hurtle forward at a pace that does not always seem calibrated for the benefit of humanity, access to the guidance and encouragement from human experts who we meet as individuals with unique backgrounds and perspectives ought to persist, and we are committed to seeing that it does at Lessonface. 

We welcome great instructors at Lessonface, which we've built to be, as the LA Times put it, the best option for teaching music online. We've grown into language and arts instruction in the last couple of years as well, in collaboration with our renowned arts partner John C Campbell Folk School and others, and are happy to offer great sessions with fantastic experts in those realms as part of TeacherFest too.
