Online Video Drum Lessons:
|
Now you can take online drum
lessons in the privacy of your own home via webcam! Webcam drum
lessons are just like having a private teacher in the same room
with you. You can hear and see each other in real time, ask
questions, and learn the material just like you are there in
person. After trying video lessons, many students have
preferred them because they can take the lesson on their own
drumset in the comfort of their own home. Once you pay for your
lesson, a consultation will be set up to discuss what you would
like to cover in your lesson.
For online drum lessons you will need:
- a
computer
- a webcam (they may be purchased for as little as $5 to
$10 on Amazon)
-
Skype
(a free program used for the video lesson)
Call or email if you have any questions or
if you would like to sign up for a video lesson with Jake.
