Setting up for Online Lessons
Online lessons are a perfect solution for long distance students, inclement weather, or when a student is contagious but feeling well enough to take a lesson.
Here's what you need to do before for your Online Lesson so things will run smoothly:
1. Make sure Zoom is installed and has access to your device’s camera & microphone. If you can adjust your settings to allow Original Sound for Musicians before the meeting, please do. It will allow me to hear what you're playing on the piano much easier.

2. Test your set up ahead of time so you know where your device will sit and the video angle will work. We'll want both your face and hands in frame, so a side-view is best. See the picture for an idea of how to angle your device.
3. Take photos of any theory assignments and either text or email them to me. Have all your music books and a pencil ready to go.
4. Join the Online Studio on Zoom using the link provided to students. Don't worry if you are in the waiting room for a minute or two, I may be finishing up a lesson before you.
If you cannot connect to the internet for your online lesson, I will make a recorded video lesson and send it to you for that week's assignment.
Looking forward to seeing you in the Online Studio soon!
