My violin lessons have been online since the pandemic started. We use Zoom, and I'll also save videos of my practice pieces to Google Drive and send a
link to my teacher. The combination works really well, in fact it may be better than in-person for teaching form, because you can see yourself playing as
well. And my teacher Aleah is fantastic -- she made some simple practice suggestions after observing my bowing that immediately(!) improved my tone. She's
also technologically savvy, and patient and encouraging. Every lesson is a good lesson! - ~MM
It was so nice to finally meet Aleah today. She’s lovely and immediately gained a rapport with Lydia within minutes of their lesson. Lydia was very
focused during her lesson and appeared disappointed for it to end. She is currently practicing as I email you. This is the happiest we’ve seen her in weeks,
as we know this pandemic has been quite the adjustment for everyone. In closing, Anita—I have to say, our short time at Music Elements has only been filled
with positive experiences. You certainly have a talented faculty and grateful for finding your studio. -Melissa
I just had a terrific lesson with Aleah!
I'm so glad you arranged to have her substitute. I think you've been having great luck with violin teachers!
I want to practice double stops all night but domestic harmony dictates restraint
