Teaching Online Piano Lessons Even When I’m Sick
Teaching online piano lessons when I’m sick? Am I crazy?
I’ve been sick all weekend, and normally, I’d have to stop teaching for the week, and cancel my piano lessons to save my students from getting this crud! But, it just occurred to me, that when I launch my online piano lessons on March 16th, 2009, I won’t have that problem, anymore. In fact, you won’t, either.
Let me explain. One of the problems I’ve had with live lessons, is that there are so many legitimate reasons that come up to cancel lessons. And, I’m not one to argue when it comes to germs. I don’t want whatever it is that you have and I respect the same.
But, with online lessons, you can continue to attend and take lessons, whether you’re sick or even if your teacher’s sick, or not. Unless you’re deathly ill and can’t even practice, you can still take a lesson. And the beauty of it is, neither of us can pass those germs through the internet. So, less exposure to those nasty germs.
Just thought I’d share that little insight. Have a great day.
I agree that online teaching take the worry out of transfering germs to students, and visa-versa. Although I’m not a huge fan of this form of tutoring, it does have that distinct advantage.
Thanks for stopping by. While I much prefer the one on one that I’ve enjoyed with my students who come to my home, I think we can still be successful at teaching piano online and still have that one on one feeling as we communicate with video phones. There may be a few hurdles to get over, but I’m confident that we’ll work them out and be able to help more people learn this valuable skill.
