How it works

Students will need to have access to a computer, laptop, or tablet with solid high speed internet capability. Ethernet connections help, but are not crucial.

Students must also have wired earbuds or headphones. This is crucial to avoid painful feedback and echoing.

Prior to their first lesson, students will receive an invitation to create their free account on Muzie.Studio. This will create their own personal "practice room" where they will access all of the materials for lessons.  At lesson time, the student will log into their Muzie practice rooms and click on "Join Lesson". Lessons will be recorded and available only to the students through their personal practice rooms. They will also have access to assignments and supplemental materials.

• External microphone - this will give the student a better quality sound. Blue Yeti is a solid affordable option. I use a Scarlett Studio mic with an audio interface.
• Open back headphones - this allows for quality audio while still being able to hear oneself. I am currently using Beyerdynamic DT 990 headphones. They are very comfortable and have good audio quality.
• Ring light - if you do not have good overhead lighting, these are available for a range of prices

Virtual lessons are still a work in progress. It takes a little tweaking to get systems lined up, but I have been very pleased with the success of teaching voice lessons online. We can do this...together!
