Online Webcam Video 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
