A reminder that for online lessons you will need a device with a camera and microphone.

I strongly advise using a laptop for audio quality. It also really helps to have

a second device you can use to play backing tracks to accompany you while you sing. It makes things easier, and you can use it to find and prepare your tracks ahead of time.

​

It is also vital that you are in a quiet place with a good internet connection. 

​

For my lessons I use Zoom, so please ensure your app is up to date (always check before your lesson) and always use the app rather than the web

browser version.

 

 

If you have any trouble, I can walk you through this on our first lesson.
