About Online Lessons

Skype is a great tool for music lessons. By using Skype or other online video chat applications you can save money on gas and time from travel. It also allows you to take lessons from anywhere with an internet connection. Just log onto your computer, sign into Skype, initiate a video call with Nathan, enjoy a lesson almost as if you were in the same room. This is great for:

  • individuals with a heavy work schedule that don’t have time to go to a lesson
  • people in isolated areas without access to music teachers
  • people without transportation or who have difficulty getting to and from lessons
  • families with many activities that find it hard to fit them all in the schedule
