Taking lessons by Skype

You will need:

• Broadband internet
• Skype software on your computer - [ download Skype - free ]
• A Skype account (free)
• Microphone connected to your PC and properly set up
• Earphones or headset
• Optional webcam

Notes:

• It is important that you use earphones or a headset, as if the sound from your speakers reaches the microphone, there is an echo generated which makes work just about impossible.
• You can get integrated headsets with microphone attached. These work well. In the studio we use proper studio mics and headhones, but even the built-in mic in the MacBook works fine, used along with a pair of i-Pod type earphones.
• The best way to record your Skype lessons is to use one of the many products you will find if you google "record skype calls." PowerGramo has a load of useful features.

Normal lesson rates apply.

We normally only do half-hours on Skype
