Advantages
In our experience,
in-person lessons
are the most effective way to learn to play a musical instrument.
However, scheduling,
transportation, location or health concerns can sometimes make remote
lessons the best option.
I
appreciate you and your family for taking health precautions to help
keep me and my students safe. If you or a family member have been
exposed to a virus or you think someone in your household is
contagious, please let me know and we can meet virturally during that
period.
Disadvantages
Remote
lessons are impersonal. You might experience technical issues. The
teacher and student can't both play music in time together. It can
make sharing some non-digital music materials more challenging.
Equipment
You
can use any smartphone, tablet, or computer with
a mic and camera. If you use a phone or tablet, consider getting a
tripod and mount. You can avoid some audio hassles by using headphones.
Setup
Orient
your device so that your teacher can see your hands and instrument, as
well as your face.
Link
Your teacher will send you the
meeting link when you set up your first virtual lesson.
