The problem that was originally identified and which Mister Josh's Neighborhood intends to address is that access to the private music lesson environment can be challenging for a list of reasons including geographical access to a quality teacher, financial limitations for underserved communities, and time limitations for interested adults due to the personal responsibilities involved in the adult schedule with job conflicts, family responsibilities and more. 

​

Mister Josh's Neighborhood intends to create solutions for all of these needs by generating an online, asynchronous music education and violin learning model that mimics and enhances the Private Lesson environment in several different ways:

 

First, the digital video world is accessible to all people globally. Anyone can participate. 

 

Secondly, this environment is intended to enhance and provide meaning-making opportunities to establish educational content for all users whether they take private lessons, study in large format group settings such as school orchestras, and even adult beginners who are seeking hobby - based learning. 

​​

Thirdly, the learning environment is asynchronous, a development that is made possible in the digital learning environment and comes with its own challenges to provide quality content that is deep and meaningful. Mister Josh's Neighborhood seeks to engage students of all ages through a sketch comedy show styled edutainment format complete with a set of recognizable characters, appropriate location settings such as the music studio and performance venues and classrooms, teacher and performer interviews. Education content is built around presentable infographic content, taught in microdoses of presentation by Mister Josh, and evaluated in a feedback community forum. 

​

The violin is a difficult instrument to play, and it is important to generate motivation through fun, engaging, bite-sized practice vitamins that enhance quick personal success geared toward generating direction for the main characters of Mister Josh's Neighborhood. 

​

The main characters of Mister Josh's Neighborhood are - The Participating Students who join and engage the journey toward personal success and achievement of online music education and violin instruction!

​

Mister Josh looks forward to release and hopes to see you soon...
