Hey Folks, Jennifer here.

I’m taking over for Anton for the time being, and this is my first blog post. I actually created the whole RhythmStrummer.com website, and there’s a lot to watch over and develop with a project like this! You’ll get to know me better as things progress. For now, I want to get some feedback from everyone about how our site could improve. We need more students to stay alive!

First thing I want to ask about is how everyone likes the site’s appearance and navigation. What can I do to make it more obvious and user friendly for new visitors? Some have said that’s it’s either too busy or too hard to know where to go from the home page. I can’t really tell since I’m so used to looking at the darned thing. It’s like trying to edit your own writing- it’s just impossible to be objective about your own creation.

Second, could anyone tell me what features or functions you’d like to have added? We are going to install a loop feature soon on the video so you can pick a section of the lesson to watch and hear over and over. You can practice along with it! And soon, we’ll add slowed down versions (50 and 75% speeds) of the videos so you can loop a section at a reduced speed in case it’s hard to play at full tempo.

I’ll stop there for now because I don’t want to throw too many ideas at everyone all at once.

Cheers, Jennifer
