Virtual Teaching and Learning

Since March 2020, I’ve been very quiet on my blog. It seems that although the world had stopped my time was taken up with work and life. I’ve wanted to get back to the blog with tips for teachers, especially music teachers but I didn’t have the time to “play” with software and since I’m no longer actively teaching, I wasn’t facing the day-to-day problems that so many of you are facing!

I’ve been working on a special project with a friend that includes video taping and editing. We are almost ready to launch this project and I’m sure it will be something you’ll be interested in for your own health and well being. Keep watching the blog for more information.

As I’m learning new technology tools as part of that project, I thought it was time to share some tips with all my followers. I’d also like to know if there is something you’re struggling with and would appreciate some ideas or tips on how to improve your technology skills.

If you’re reading this post, please comment and let me know if there is something you’re interested in learning related to technology and music. Maybe a new skill for you personally or maybe something that directly relates to your teaching. I don’t know all the answers but will certainly do my best to support your needs with clearly outlined tips or through video demos. I will also start blogging some tips and instructional support hoping that may be of interest, even to your personal knowledge.

This has been a challenging time for all of us but let’s be engaged and walk through this new world together!
