Short YouTube video (short) by Lauren Bateman describing how she develops course ideas from student interactions. She explains that her course started at a beginner level and she continually adds material—fingerpicking, bar chords, and intermediate-level lessons—based directly on student questions and interests; the content is student‑geared and evolves over time.
When I first started, it was just like the very beginner. And I keep adding stuff. So now you can learn how to finger pick. You learn how to do bar chords. There's some intermediate level stuff in there. I keep adding new stuff to it all the time. So it's kind of cool because, you know, I work with students, you know, just like your dad, and people ask me questions and I'll be like, that's a great idea. I should make a course on that. I really let my students help me kind of develop what they want next. Like, what are you guys interested in learning? It's really geared towards my students, you know, what they want to do.
