For those interested exclusively in remote music lessons, please read on!
How do online music lessons work?
Lessons will be conducted through a platform called JamKazam. This platform allows the student and the teacher to work together remotely in real time.
For voice students this is especially important, as you will be able to hear and sing along to voice exercises as soon as I play them. Voice students will also be able to sing along to real-time piano accompaniment. There is no audio delay as there is over Zoom or other online meeting applications.
For piano students, I will be able to help you shape your playing and your sense of tone and rhythm in real time, as you perform your piece.
What equipment and subscriptions do you need?
All students taking remote lessons will need a JamKazam subscription.
Students will also need the following equipment and home tech set up:
* A desktop or laptop computer
* An Ethernet connection.
* Wired headphones
I am happy to guide online students through a remote tech set-up free of charge!
What will our first online lesson look like?
For online lessons, we will meet first over an application like Zoom or Google Duo to introduce ourselves, discuss your music goals, and chat for a bit. This introductory lesson is free of charge.
During our intro lesson, if you are a singer, I will ask you to sing a cappella so that I can hear your tone and observe your breathing patterns. If you are a piano student, I will ask you to play a little bit so I can listen to your tone, feel your sense of rhythm, and observe your posture and hand technique. I will also discuss my teaching methods, and you will have a chance to ask me questions.
