Lessons over Skype?
Take individual or group lessons at a convenient time in the privacy and familiarity of your own home, church, or studio.
For Skype lessons, you can pay by the lesson and schedule a time for your instructor to call you, or you can even call your teacher. Payment can be done online through PayPal with your credit or debit card.
It
's simple! All you need to do to get started is to:
1. Install Skype on your notebook of Ipad.
2. Use an Ipad or computer stand and set this up in your music room. Make sure it holds your computer securely and can be adjusted to focus on your instrument and you. Through discussion with your teacher, you can decide what is best for your own circumstances. You can focus the camera on yourselves for conversation or place the camera in position to focus on the keyboard, pedals, or the entire area. It's all up to you!
3. Check out the image on your screen and make sure your sound controls are working properly.
4. Call your teacher or have your teacher call you at the desired time.
What can be easier than that? You don't have to worry about icy roads, storms, traffic, or picking up a cup of Starbucks. Just make yourself a cup of coffee, turn on your computer, sit down at your instrument, and wait for the phone to ring. Oh - and don't forget the PayPal bit. You're all set for a professional lesson in your own home! Although for continuous improvement and the learning process it is desirable that students take a lesson each week, if this is not possible, it is recommended that students take at least two lessons per month to ensure continuity in their progress.
