RE: Dance teacher prohibits recording (in reply to constructordeguitarras)

I studied cello with a famous teacher who charged a little more than that per hour. She had her own video camera and blank DVDs in her studio and made a recording of the important points of the lesson with her playing the cello to demonstrate. She was in her mid 70s and certainly not a digital native. So if you ask me I think it' wrong to charge that much for lessons and not provide two or three minutes of demo at the end for you recorded on your phone. My cello teacher would review the lesson and play the music we were working on and say a few things about procedure for how to practice the lesson. I also studied with cellists who did not make videos, but we worked on things that did not need to be remembered in a certain order. My first teacher in 1978 did not make videos, obvy, nor the second. Then I did not study seriously for many years and went back in, the first teacher I worked with was the video user, the two others not. Irene the video method teacher was essentially choreographing some kinds of position shifting and bow stuff I had bad habits with, so she did not want me to work without doing e x a c t l y what she wanted. And she made me do it r e a l l y slow. In about 7 or 8 lessons I had small but well earned breakthroughs because she was meticulous. With the other two I got more informal stuff like some extended techniques in bowing and improvisation for cello and help with making chords. So that was an idea similar to learning "the tonos" patterns on guitar, but for an instrument tuned in fifths. It did not need a video, it was a process of applying three of four chord shapes to the fingerboard. If it were me, I'd moonlight on your non video teacher and find someone who will let you make videos and see if that makes sense. Just take a month break and have lessons with other teachers. 75 bucks is a lot of money these days. All the teachers I know let students make videos of parts of lessons. Usually stuff like a footwork passage demonstrated at full speed and then broken out out into parts really slow, that way the student can remember in detail. In my opinion, asking 75 and then asking for more on top of that to make a lesson video is out of line.
