This page provides information on how online lessons work. There’s more information about my teaching on my saxophone lessons page.
What you’ll need
- A saxophone
- A laptop or tablet with a working web cam, microphone and speakers
- Set up your device in a stable position and in a way that I’ll be able to see your upper body’s position and your fingers on the keys
- A good internet connection, with an upload speed of at least 2MB. Test your connection here
Alternatively, you will need a computer with a separate webcam or microphone and speakers or headphones.
How it will work
We’ll be video calling each other via an online platform called Zoom. You can either install their software, app or use it via your browser.
I’ll send you any required sheets and music samples before our lessons starts.
Please make sure to set up your equipment before our lesson starts, including testing Zoom at least a day before, to make sure it works for you.
Make sure that you’re in a quiet room where you won’t be interrupted and your playing won’t be a nuissance to other people.
At the end of each lesson I’ll be giving you “homework” which you’ll need to complete before our next lesson.
How much does it cost and payment methods
Lessons cost £44. Student discount is available.
Students will be required to pay via BACS or PayPal on the same day.
How to book
If you’d like to book an online lesson with me, please see my contacts page.
If our internet connection is unstable
If we find throughout the lesson that our internet connection is not able to sustain our video call, we will stop the video call and we will work via a different method. We can discuss this a little better if we find the need for it.
Please be aware that cancellations made less than 24 hours before the lesson takes place will be charged a full fee as per face to face lessons.
