Music lessons

I really want to support mu kids' music teachers during the lockdown. What do people here think? Can music lessons via skype be somewhat successful? Specifically talking about guitar and violin.

Thanks

Ours are continuing via zoom, first one a big success, some sense of normal routine. He emailed through the notes to go in their practice diary, I had scanned the pages they were working on so he could see them and he had even suggested we experiment with the acapella app to do some duets. Hope you find a solution. Extra time to practice and music is a good stress relief. Also look at the blitz your theory music books if they need to cover that, answer sheets are available online if you are not that musical.

We had two harp lessons via messenger video this week and it worked although grainy but I largely attribute that to living in the middle of nowhere! Would Skype /Zoom etc be better do we think?

Our usual piano lessons were by Skype yesterday and I helped out - not ideal but what is.

Zoom worked well for us.
