Online lessons open up opportunities for new types of vocal and musical exploration! However, some equipment is needed to make it work well.
What you need for online lessons:
- Bare Minimum: 25 megabit WiFi connection. A fiber connection is better.
- A private room for lessons that family members will respect and where you feel you can sing out.
- Two screens-computer, smart phone, iPad/Tablet all work.
- Bluetooth cpeaker connected to one of those devices.
- A Music Player App on the device connected to the speaker (more specifics later)
- Zoom Downloaded on computer or viewing device. (Facetime is ok, too, but it does not allow me to share some documents and other things, so I do prefer Zoom)
- Viewing computer/screen needs to be at shoulder/eye level so you're not looking down.
- Music Stand
- Light Behind your computer (in front of your face), so I can see you.
- A binder for paper versions of your music and loose paper to make notes and record your practice time.
Best: Same as above, but include a good external microphone and a direct connection to Router from your computer (Ethernet cable)
- I understand this can be a tall order, so please know, I will work with you and what you have!
