With the regular and now accepted use of virtual education methods, Geib Musik would like to set forth some guidelines for students who choose to take virtual lessons, either on a regular or occasional basis.

Virtual lessons are a great tool that can help students when in-person lesson options are unavailable due to scheduling or weather interruptions.

To hold an effective virtual lesson the following conditions must met:

• Students must be in a quiet environment

• • Use a room away from others in the household, preferably close to the internet access point

  • No extra talking or noise from siblings

  • No noise from televisions or other sources

• The device used for video call must have the camera and microphone aimed well, student and instrument must be fully visible. Minor adjustments may be requested during the lesson

• Internet sound functions differently, only traveling a single direction. Verbal and Musical exchanges will be respectful, when teacher or student speaks/plays the other will keep silent (no noodling melodies or other disruptive noise)

• Hand signals may be used to make clear when something must be communicated, waving, thumbs up, repeat symbol, or others as needed

• If internet speed or disruption occurs lesson may be ended early to maintain scheduling

• Student should use books and music the teacher also owns, or email scans in advance for reference (e.g. audition or school music), reading from the same edition of music facilitates a better lesson experience
