A short YouTube clip featuring Lauren Bateman describing her teaching style and choice of repertoire: she focuses mainly on songs from the 1970s (with some 1960s and 1980s material) because those songs resonate with her learners. She teaches those songs at a beginner, step-by-step level to help students achieve goals and to encourage them to explore her courses.
I use songs from a particular generation. I love doing songs mainly from the 70s, but I do some songs from the 60s, some songs from the 80s as well. But I really focus in on the 70s. These are types of music that they grew up wanting to play. It's great because if they've never interacted with my brand before, I'm already helping them do something they wanted to do. So I use the music that they love and I help them reach a goal and I teach it to them at a beginner level, or I teach it to them in a step by step manner that they're like, wow, really? Like this girl's teaching style. Let me go see if she had a course.
