Lessons in your home
All students enrolled with Bach To Basics receive lessons in their own homes during their regular weekly scheduled lessons via Skype or Zoom. Private music lessons follow the typical academic year of approximately ten months (40 lessons). Students may start their studies anytime, and summer lessons are available for those who wish to study during their break.
Music education for any age
Lessons are available for students of all ages, from children to adults. At Bach To Basics, the emphasis is on the student’s musical needs, promoting good study and practice habits, and introducing the enjoyment music offers. I encourage parents of younger children to participate in their child’s learning by listening to their progress, participating in their music education, and encouraging family interest in the child’s musical activities. Parents are welcome to attend lessons.
Materials
All required books and materials for private online music instruction can be purchased online or at your local music store. Students get notified of what materials they need during their initial free introductory interview.
What you need for online lessons
Students will require a laptop, desktop, or tablet with a built-in or connected camera, microphone and speakers near the instrument where they plan on taking lessons. The student must have an internet connection and either a free or paid version of Skype or Zoom installed on their laptop, desktop, or tablet. Contact Bach To Basics for any further questions regarding setting up online lessons.
