You are always welcome to discuss the teaching
methods with us in person, by email, or by phone. We have
provided some information here if you prefer to read about
this online.
To use this teaching method, you need a
webcam setup on your computer. Once your webcam is ready,
you can start requesting sessions. During your sessions,
you and your teacher can see and hear each other through
your computers, where you will experience live, private
instructions. You quickly forget that you're learning
through a computer because these sessions are personal,
with a very real teacher at the other end. Compared to
the in-person based teaching methods, this method is virtually
the same, with one exception. You are missing the ability
to physically interact, so your teacher can't pick up
your guitar and tune it for you, or assist with correcting
your arms, hands, or finger positions.
Because this method involves live communications
with you and your teacher, questions can be asked and
answered right away so each of your sessions can be completely
understood. You are able to learn a lot of new ideas in
one session because your questions are answered as soon
as you ask them, which is an advantage compared to the
Correspondence teaching
method. Also, during this time, the focus is always on
you and your progress, which is an advantage compared
to the In A Classroom teaching
method. And, because there is no need for either
you or your teacher to commute, this is an advantage over
the In A Classroom, the At
Teacher's Home, and the At
Student's Home teaching methods.
The way you want to learn is up to you.
You can make each request one at a time, whenever you
are ready for your next session, or you can follow a routine,
using "session sets", and arrange regular weekly
sessions. There are two options: "Online Sessions
(Dynamic)" and "Online Sessions (Static)".
Online Sessions (Dynamic)
This option is designed so you can pay
per request, scheduling sessions one at a time. To request
an "Online Sessions (Dynamic)" session, you
first check the SC
Calendar, which will show your teacher's availability.
This includes the times that he or she will be available
and whether or not they are available for this particular
teaching method. Your teacher is assigned to you based
on your registration information. If availability is good,
you then add an "Online Sessions (Dynamic)"
session request to your Selected
Teaching Methods (STM) list. You specify the time,
for this single session request, and as long as there
are no conflicts, and you have enough credit in your
Account, your request will be added successfully.
For more details, read about the "Online Sessions
(Dynamic)" teaching method in the Terms
and Agreements.
Online Sessions (Static)
This option is designed to use "session
sets", so you can reserve the same time every week
for your sessions. To request a session set, you first
check the SC
Calendar, which will show your teacher's availability.
This includes the times that he or she will be available
and whether or not they are available for this particular
teaching method. Your teacher is assigned to you based
on your registration information. If availability is good,
you then add an "Online Sessions (Static)" session
set request to your Selected
Teaching Methods (STM) list. A session set consists
of 4 consecutive weeks of sessions, all at the same time
each week. You specify the start date and time for this
session set, and as long as there are no conflicts, and
you have enough credit in your
Account, your request will be added successfully.
You can maintain this block of time by adding an "Online
Sessions (Static)" session set every 4 weeks. For
more details, read about the "Online Sessions (Static)"
teaching method in the Terms
and Agreements.
