How do Virtual Lessons work?

My online/virtual lessons are very similar to how I would teach in real life! The biggest difference is that so much content is delivered in the assignment each week. This allows students to absorb the material in the time that they need and without needing to be on a schedule.  During Live classes students can get real- time feedback on their progress and ask any questions they have.

What do We need at Home?

-A piano or keyboard- at least 62 keys, touch sensitive and a sustain pedal.  

-A quiet room for live classes, and/or for the student to focus on video learning. 

-A laptop or tablet for live classes and to access assignments. (A smartphone is not a big enough screen to work here- it's important to give your student all the advantage you can for learning virtually!)  

-A printer is very helpful, as weekly lessons include worksheets and music to be printed. Otherwise, a separate device may be needed during live classes to access any music the student is learning from.

What is the Parent's Job?

Helping the student keep track of their assignments, establishing daily practice habits, keeping the technology charged and updated, and general musical support is great!  The student will regularly have pages to print out, and it's helpful to have parental involvement for practicing for students under 10. Parents may enjoy learning from the curriculum as well, and this is helpful for the student, to see someone else learning with them!
