A Skyped supplement to piano lessons (Video)

Here’s an example of a Bay area student taking a Skyped piano lesson to supplement her regular weekly meetings with me.

These work well, particularly if a pupil has to catch up from a vacation period absence, or needs reinforcement of technique, and/or an added revisit of a piece in progress.

In this segment, the pupil is playing the opening section of the Latour Sonatina, a Classical era, level 1 piece.

We were working on a fluid legato along with hand/arm rotation and dynamic contrast.
