Online Lessons Notes

Hi Everyone,

We just finished one full week of online lessons and here are some notes to maximize our online lesson time:

1. Make sure space is clear and minimal distractions

2. position the phone, tablet or computer at a vantage point where we can see the keyboard/hands.

   • It is ok if part of the student is not showing

   • On some pianos, there is an edge you can rest the phone on

   • A TV tray positioned at the edge of the piano can also work

   • use a book or small, heavy object to help prop the device

3. Please take photos of the student’s music beforehand and text the photos to me via messaging

4. Please have a pencil (not a pen or marker) ready for your child to mark up music

5. Make sure your streaming device is charged 100%

6. Make sure device is “Do Not Disturb” mode

Other notes:

1. If possible, use the most up-to-date technology available in your household. Older software and hardware can result in degraded quality especially sound and streaming quality

2. Keep other internet connections clear: - stop other streaming services especially TV/movie (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)

Please comment if you have any questions or other tips to add!
