Online Piano and Keyboard Tuition.
I have returned to online tuition as of 27.3.20. I am particularly comfortable with Skype, but can also work with FaceTime. By 2017 my main teaching practice (standard in-room) had built up to the extent that my online teaching gradually diminished. With the onset of coronavirus, I have been forced to return to online teaching for all of my pupils. It is not ideal, but is much better than no lessons at all.

With the vast majority of pupils, I can check online that the notes they play, rhythms and legato/staccato/dynamics are fine. Most pupils admit that online teaching is more successful than they had anticipated. It also provides an incentive to practice: even some of the more committed pupils admit that their knowing that a lesson is only a few days away is a motivating factor that keeps them practising; otherwise, they tend to drift. My best ever pupil result for an ABRSM exam was actually with a Skype pupil. I mention that to show how lessons being online doesn't stand in the road of progress; perhaps he did well despite having online lessons!
I use a Logitech C920 webcam for vertical shots of my piano as we teach in order to demonstrate more effectively.
