I used to teach but I got tired of the scene and then the pandemic came and I just shut the door completely to teaching any one period. But after watching your video you have inspired me to share with the world what I know and best of all....online where everyone and anyone can benefit from my lessons. Thank you so much for making this video.

Thank you! I’m actually finding teaching online BETTER than when I taught in students’ houses - for many reasons!

[nicolequesnel]

I have watched so many videos trying to get this information and no one comes close to explaining it as well as you do. Thank you so much! Learned more in 17 minutes than I have watching multiple videos the last few months.

Thankyou! This was very helpful. Much Appreciated from India.

These are pretty difficult topics to break down succinctly in an accessible way. You do so effortlessly! Great advice and very easy to follow. Thanks 👍

Hi and thanks for the clear and knowledgeable instruction. I would add that using headphones (plugged in to the audio interface), is the best way to avoid echo and feedback. I teach online brass instrutrments (= acoustic) as well as using electronic keyboard and theremin (= electronic), using a mixer and audio interface going into my Mac as you have outlined in other videos. I forward your videos to my students - I should add that I'm in Italy (I teach"Music in English") and you are very clear and precise in all of your instruction, so your videos are also accessible by those who speak English as a second language (DAW comes up as "door" in the auto-generated subtitles, ha ha, but otherwise it's perfect, thanks to your clarity). Cheers!

Excellent presentation. Easy to follow, practical and useful to tthe largest audience. 👍

Fantastic info! As a drum teacher/player the problem with audio disappearing from the other end is not very helpful, the set up for audio on laptop and iPad will give me my sanity back, well, whatever was there to start with! Many thanks, JHK

I remember you helped me (tech-moron) figure out how to record my playing. And now as school teacher during the lockdown this is equally helpful. one of the rare times the YT feed works in my favor 😂

Thank you so much for this ... My son had to play a song for his class during online schooling... This was super helpful

Excellent advice, thank you!
Just one area where I would disagree: I took the advice of several online piano teachers and bought a Blue Yeti mic for my electronic piano. it gives me superb sound so long as it is joined to my Mac with a good quality USB C adapter, is configured to the correct setting (cardioid) and positioned correctly. This took a minimum of trial and error. Of course a cardioid mic has to face the music, but, beyond that, I found it was intimidatingly loud and bassy when stationed on a table at the front of the piano, which made it very difficult to convey dynamics. I have now moved it to a shelf at the treble side of the piano, about a forearm’s length above the keyboard. This never fails to give me a little moment of pleasure at how good it sounds, so much so that I bought my daughter one as well.

I realise that to connect the output from my piano would probably give a cleaner sound, but this method avoids a lot of clutter by mixing my voice with the sound output from the piano; and it sounds very natural. In a normal piano lesson, my pupils would not be sitting there with headphones on, experiencing a superior recording studio produced sound; they would hear the piano sound coming acoustically and mixing with my voice. In my opinion, the Blue Yeti is more than adequate. I have also saved quite a lot of money by doing it this way.

Instead, I have spent money on:
a document camera, positioned to view the piano keys from above;
a large photography backdrop screen on a stand to keep the rest of my room private (as advised by my school);
and any money that I can put towards this project from now on will probably go on another camera to show my feet on the pedals
and some kind of vision mixer to enable me to change cameras really easily instead of using a drop-down menu on Zoom.

Most kids respond to sight far better than sound these days. I find it cost-effective, therefore, to give them the clearest visual experience I can in order to keep their focus and attention.

Very clear, concise and helpful. Thank you so much

[shaannnnn]

everytime you come and share some unique content.thank you madam.

[katerankin]

Very useful thank you for all your really informative and clear videos. Any tips on multi camera setup for acoustic piano teaching? Thank you.

[dsgwyw]

Your content is always so detailed so much clear mam. Very very helpful. I have been following you since I saw and read your content on how to connect piano to computer. Thank you.

[JimmyCruzGuitarInstructor]

Excellent info! I mostly do in-person lessons and a few weekly online lessons that I've done organically through my webcam/mic set up, but it lacks the audio quality that I want to have. I already had the equipment you've described here that I've used for home recording but never thought to combine them with my zoom lessons. All of your info was awesome and I'll be implementing them on those online lessons. Thanks for posting this!

[MusicbyCiaran]

This was very helpful- thanks for the tips and tricks!

[marynorby]
