For the lesson to be effective, the student does not get distracted and does not waste time (“Oh! I have 5% left! Oh, it’s not charging, etc.”) fully charge your device through which we will study or connect it to the charger in advance.

Indoors:

• Light – good lighting is important for both the camera and the working mood.
• Quiet (vacuum cleaner, dishwasher, etc. not included, water does not pour, no one knocks on plates with spoons). All these noise sounds are perfectly captured by the microphone and distract me and the child from the lesson.
• comfortable temperature. If it’s hot, turn on the air conditioner, just enough so that the airflow doesn’t blow into the microphone. If it’s cold, turn on the heating or heater. In a cold room, neither fingers nor brains work.)

Small children, dogs, cats, domestic hippos do not get confused under their feet, they do not walk on the instrument. Make sure doors and windows are closed to prevent outside noise from entering the room.

You need to sit so that your heels rest on the floor or stand. The elbows should be slightly above the level of the keys, the shoulders should be lowered. If the height of the chair is not enough, we put books. We check that the height of the chair is adjusted, the books are placed.

Sometimes Skype and other software starts updating at the most inopportune moment. I recommend turning on and checking your device, microphone, camera 5-15 minutes before class.

Legs rest on the floor or stand on a stand. Checking that the stand is in place.

Check that everything you need for the lesson is there. Notes, pencil, eraser, music book, second gadget to open backing tracks.

The child should be fed, watered, preferably well-rested and not tired. Make sure your child goes to the bathroom before class. You can put a glass of water nearby (but not on the instrument!)
