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)
