Preparations Before Starting Remote Lessons

1. Plan. We encourage students to set up zoom on their device before the lesson time starts. Try the test zoom to become familiar with the software. Find the best placement for your computer, tablet or phone.
2. Prepare. Before starting lessons, review your previous notes from last lesson, have your books ready and a pencil for notes. Most importantly, plan to have your instrument ready and tuned. View our blog for useful tips for tuning your instrument and more useful tips to prepare.
3. Expectations. Remote learning is an alternative to continue music education.  Your teachers will modify the lessons to adapt to the lesson platform. Be open to the new process and support your teachers approach.
4. Practice. Find your new routine of practicing and plan your practice time before and after your scheduled lesson. Teachers will assign practice games and activities, we are encouraging parents to also take part to practice music together.
5. Learn & have fun. Music is to enjoy and have fun! Students will learn new concepts in a new way!

How to prepare for remote lessons?

Remote learning is an adopted platform for teachers to connect with their students wherever they are around the world. Vivaldi Music Academy has adapted to the new form of music lessons for students to continue learning and playing music. Please read below how you can prepare for your remote lessons:

Designated Space – Distraction Free area.

Find a space in your home during your lesson time that will be isolated and distraction free. This space will include your instrument, music, books and pencil to write any notes.

Reliable Device

Computer, Tablet, or Smartphone can be used to connect with your teacher via Zoom. Please check the connectivity of your wifi and device to ensure no interruptions during your scheduled lesson.

Your instrument.

Plan to have your instrument ready and available for use. If you are sharing a piano or instrument with a family member, we are happy to help adjust a better time during remote learning to schedule students back to back. Please contact the front desk to help with those accommodations.
