Preparing for Online Lessons

At least a few minutes before your online lesson begins, 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 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.

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.  If you have difficulty connecting at your lesson time, please send me a text message immediately so that I can attempt to help troubleshoot.
