Although there are many online platforms, zoom is much more geared up to offer professional multi camera remote teaching. TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT THE TIPS BELOW TO HELP MAKE THE MOST OF VIRTUAL LESSONS:

​

​

 

Where possible use a laptop/desktop computer with a hard-wired internet connection rather than wifi. This is keep your connection speed faster and to help stop the video connection from lagging. Using a phone or tablet with a wifi connection is absolutely fine providing you have a relatively quick and stable internet connection already. 

​

​

IT MAKES THINGS MUCH QUICKER IF YOU PRACTICE POSITIONING YOUR LAPTOP/TABLET BEFOREHAND. Ideally SOMEWHERE TO GIVE A GOOD overall VIEW OF YOU SAT AT YOUR KIT. IF YOU ARE JUST AFTER A FEW TASTER LESSONS AND DON'T ACTUALLY OWN A KIT YET, NO PROBLEM! SIMPLY A PAIR OF STICKS AND A PILLOW TO PRACTICE ON WILL BE COMPLETELY FINE FOR THE TIME BEING.

​

​

LASTLY, IT HELPS IF YOU CAN USE A PAIR OF HEADPHONES DURING LESSONS.  tHIS IS SO YOU CAN HEAR THE EXERCISES BEING SHOWN TO YOU, WHICH CAN BE DIFFICULT IF YOU JUST USE THE LAPTOP/TABLETS IN-BUILT SPEAKERS ESPECIALLY WHEN PLAYING YOUR KIT. IF YOU HAVE AN ELECTRIC KIT THEN IDEALLY THIS NEEDS TO BE CONNECTED TO SOME SORT OF SPEAKER SO IT CAN BE HEARD OVER THE VIDEO CALL.
