HOW WEBCAM LESSONS WORK
Set Up
Webcam lessons are available and scheduled based on time zones and our work schedules. I am using Skype or Google Meet for my teaching interfaces. Skype and Google Meet are free software downloads. I can help you with the installation and set up of the programs.
Availability
Please email me with your location, available days & times and what you want to work on in the lesson; songs you want to learn, techniques, styles you like, theory, scales, chords…just as you would if we were to have a lesson in person.
Connection Test
I will get back to you and we will arrange a connection test for audio and video quality. Please have Skype or Google Meet and your webcam installed with functioning audio/video and high speed internet. If you are happy and comfortable with the test run we will arrange a set time for your paid lessons.
Reserve a Time
Once a specific day and time is agreed on, payment is required to reserve the time spot. Please see current rates above.
Lesson Prep
I will make sure I understand what you want your lesson to concentrate on. The written part of our lesson will be prepared and emailed to you ahead of time in a PDF file. We will go over the material on camera and the lesson is yours to keep. All written work and arrangements provided to students are considered a ‘”derivative work” and used by permission only from Jeffrey Thomas.
