RE: "Teaching over Zoom just won't cut it"

My son has been teaching mostly beginner piano students over Zoom for months. He has a nicely set up place for his videocam and mic. His website has some options for helping the students (and their parents) to place their computer or phone. Not one student dropped out when he had to go to video teaching. They even filmed their short pieces for the spring recital and uploaded them to a private YouTube channel.

He also has continued his own lessons via Zoom with a teacher in another city. It's working well. The only issue was when his piano went out of tune. He bought some tuning equipment and got some help in tuning it himself.

Obviously, music education would work better in person, but there is a lot that can be done over videoconference. I have had to make videoconference work in my own career as a clinical psychologist--it took some adjustment, but it's going well.
