When using a laptop for an online piano lesson, I recommend that you have it positioned about three or four feet away from the piano and elevated. This is the really important point. I have this elevated so that I can get a full cross-view of the piano from the bottom to the top so that when my hands are together I can still see the individual fingers on the notes. If your camera source is too low, it’s going to be hard to distinguish where those hands and fingers are relative to the keys. So this kind of positioning is really, really good for both the teacher and for the student view. You can use a small book shelf or a high table if you have something that high. In my case, I actually have an inStand laptop tripod, a laptop stand, that can adjust in height. This is an ideal tool for using a laptop’s webcam. So one of the limitations of course is that I only have one view, it’s just that single camera view and you’ll have to explain and talk through everything else. There’s no view of my pedals, and there’s no view of the sheet music. For an iPad setup, I recommend using a tablet mount like the Manos Mount made by AirTurn, attached to a mic stand. This will enable you to place the iPad at a height and angle that will allow for a full view of the keyboard and pianist posture. Now, a really important consideration why I’m using iPads and laptops and not a smartphone is simply for the fact that I need to be able to see the student and the student needs to be able to see me, not just over the internet, but also as we’re doing the lesson. This iPad pro screen is large enough so that even though it’s a little bit further away I can still see the hands on the keys and if the screen is large enough, the student can see me in return. If you’re using a smartphone and using the selfie camera on a smartphone, the screen is just too small because you’re going to have to have it far enough away to see the whole keyboard, so on and so forth. Again, it’s that real time interaction that we need to maintain for an effective lesson.

Are music teachers in demand?

According to the National Association for Music Education, national averages indicate that music teacher supply and demand is balanced. However, different economies and population demographics will create variances from region to region. This will likely produce overall average job growth for music teachers throughout the next decade. While most states require that teachers obtain and maintain a license to teach music, specific licensing requirements vary greatly between states. Therefore, teachers who have earned a Bachelor’s Degree in music education will considerably enhance their job prospects nationwide. Those wishing to teach at the college level are generally expected to have a Master’s Degree or Doctorate in music education. While it is true that music teachers employed by elementary and secondary schools and colleges are typically more vulnerable to board budget cuts, they also have more opportunities than their counterparts teaching the so-called academic subjects to offer private lessons. This flexibility to charge their own fees and accept as many students as they wish may offset periodic downturns and any uncertainty of employability in the field.
