Tips for successful online music & art lessons:

• follow the technical requirements
• set up your computer and instrument in a quiet space
• have a notepad, staff paper and pencil ready for taking notes
• be sure your setup is ready at least 10 minutes prior to the lesson
• update your device beforehand so that you are not interrupted during the lesson
• use the best internet connection available 
• be sure to close other apps/processes that might take up bandwidth (downloads, audio/video streaming, social media, etc)
• it’s a good idea to share your phone number at the beginning of the session, so that you could regroup in case you get disconnected
• the same button that allows screen sharing will give you the option for launching a shared whiteboard - very handy for drawing together on the screen!
• you can use the chat feature to share links
• you can use the file upload feature to share pre-recorded audio or video
• do NOT use the "Virtual Background" feature
• please share your feedback and let us know if you have any suggestions for ways we can improve the experience
