This video shows how technology can really assist and even take over for person-to-person classes and lessons. We have already seen many online classes through colleges and universities, but this is a little different. I had trouble at first imagining a private music lesson over Skype, but I think with some imagination it could work. This woman had to take this route to keep her private cello students when forced to move out of her usual teaching area.
I think it is also a great idea for students who want a lesson with a
particular teacher or composer. I would love to take a lesson with a principal
clarinet player of a major orchestra, but maybe not on a long-term basis. For long-term
lessons, I highly recommend finding a good musician in your area that you can
see on a regular basis.
