Is the internet a perfect place to learn and study?
Well, if you tell your student to check this or that out on Youtube he will undoubtedly get lost for hours watching something that is of no relevance to what you told him to do! The student will have watched the singing pigeon, the dancing rhino and two episodes of Friends before completing the assignment you gave him!
To use the vast resource of the internet you need a travel guide... a map telling you where the worthwhile places are! The place where everything is supposed to take no time at all is also the place of wasted hours. This is a new problem in the history of man's search for information, how to select the things NOT to read and find the important information that will take the student in the right direction.
This is one of the major goals of www.teachmeaboutmusic.com. How to set up an educational environment where one thing leads logically from another. Where the setup of information is useful and direct to the point. No singing pigeons nor dancing rhinos...however funny that might be, they will always be there for later viewing.
All the best
