New Mozart Students & Teachers Making Music Online

SET UP INSTRUCTIONS

  • We’re using Zoom for our online lessons. Download (https://zoom.us/download) and join Zoom from the Zoom App. See this video that steps you through How to Get Into Your Meeting Room

  • ​Laptop works best and you can access the advanced audio settings to configure Zoom for music lessons. Phones or tablets will work too but they lack the advanced audio settings.

  • A reliable internet is needed.

  • If you have any music that your teacher doesn't have, then send a copy to the office. (taking a picture of it will be fine)

  • Children learn best when parents are involved, especially so with online lessons. We encourage parents to actively help young children during the lesson.

  • Piano Students: 

    • Put a laptop on a table placed on the side of the piano so that your teacher can see your hands on the keys. The best angle for piano lessons is achieved with an adjustable stand like this one  (music stand will do if you have a sturdy one). You can use stacks of books if you don’t have an adjustable stand. 

 

IMPORTANT ZOOM AUDIO SETTING

Watch this short video and set up your Zoom audio for music lessons.


Zoom is the best platform for online music lessons once we tweak a few things. Zoom’s audio is set to perform best for speech and does a lot of “smart” things which are good for business meetings but not so good for music lessons.

Adjust the audio settings as recommended here. Tablets and phones do not have the advanced audio settings so we recommend using a laptop or desktop for lessons. If your computer doesn’t show the advanced audio settings, download the latest Zoom app (https://zoom.us/download).
