Pianists: place the camera with side view of your hands and and ensure the length of the keyboard is in view
Violinists and violists: place the camera with a side view of yourself and ensure the f-holes are in view.
Music theory, Aural, GCSE/A-level music students: place the camera in front of you on a desk - you will only need to be able to see the whiteboard beside me
The call will be initiated at the agreed time of the lesson
Before the agreed start time of each lesson, students are to email a scan or photo of the following pages in their books to info@hampsteadmusiclessons.com:
Their repertoire for the week
Two sight-reading exercises (if studying the graded examination syllabus)
Any other etudes or exercises referred to in their homework (scales not required)
Completed music theory/academic assignments
The next two pages of their theory book (if studying music theory)
The focus will be on the same aspects as a normal lesson: warmups, scales, sight-reading, repertoire, aural training, rhythmic activities, and music theory.
Immediately after each lesson, homework and practice tips will be assigned via email, which will summarise the key points to practise over the week.
