Online Lessons

While being in the same room togeth­er is obvi­ous­ly the best way to make con­nec­tions as artists and learn­ers, meet­ing vir­tu­al­ly can be a great way to over­come sched­ul­ing and trav­el dif­fi­cul­ties and con­tin­ue your musi­cal progress—as long as you’ve tak­en a few sim­ple steps to make sure that the tech­nol­o­gy will be a help rather than a hin­drance to our mutu­al goals!

With that in mind, I ask that at least a few min­utes before your online les­son begins, you please con­firm that you have the fol­low­ing:

• One device with the most up-to-date ver­sion of the Zoom app installed. A desk­top or lap­top com­put­er with Eth­er­net inter­net con­nec­tion is best. A com­put­er with wifi is accept­able. A tablet or phone might work, but usu­al­ly does not allow for a sat­is­fac­to­ry les­son expe­ri­ence. What­ev­er device you use, please make sure you’ve updat­ed to the most cur­rent Zoom ver­sion before our les­son.
• A sep­a­rate device to play your accom­pa­ni­ments. Be sure this device gen­er­ates enough sound for you to sing along with—you may need to con­nect exter­nal speak­ers if not. Please, please, please do not attempt to use the same device for Zoom and accom­pa­ni­ment play­back!
• Leg­i­ble copies of your charts. These may be hard copies, dig­i­tal copies on a tablet, or what­ev­er you’re most com­fort­able with, as long as you’re able to refer to spe­cif­ic measures/pages as we work togeth­er, and are able to do so while using both Zoom and your accom­pa­ni­ment device.

Once you’re ready, vis­it davidmglasgow.com/gozoom on your Zoom device, or just open the Zoom app and enter Meet­ing ID 812 642 1553. (This URL and meet­ing ID will be the same for every online les­son.)  You’ll be placed into a “Wait­ing Room” until I’m fin­ished with my pre­vi­ous stu­dent and ready to join you.
