eLessons
This page should be read in conjunction with the regular Terms & Conditions of Tuition.
1. eLessons
eLessons are lessons delivered via Zoom, an online video conferencing facility. Zoom requires each user to download the software to their device but the set up is simple.
2. Guidance for parents/carers
In order to get the most out of eLessons and to help me follow safeguarding best practice, please follow the guidance below.
3. Cancellation of eLessons
If any of these guidelines are not adhered to, the eLesson will cease immediately and the parent/carer will be informed in writing. In these circumstances, the eLesson will not be reimbursed or rescheduled.
As per the Terms & Conditions of Tuition, either the student (or the student's parent or carer) or I may terminate the tuition by giving the other at least half a term's notice.

2. Guidance for parents/carers
In order to get the most out of eLessons and to help me follow safeguarding best practice, please follow the guidance below.
- Arrange a dedicated space for the child to receive the lesson (ideally a shared space, not a bedroom).
- Arrange for an adult to be present, if possible.
- Arrange for the lesson to be delivered via the parent/carer's login and device, not the child's.
- Ensure that the student is prepared with instrument, music and equipment before the start of the eLesson and is as ready to learn as if they were attending the lesson in person.
- Where possible warm up and tune the instrument before the eLesson.
- Ensure that the student maintains their normal standards of dress code as if they were attending the lesson in person.
- Provide a device (computer/laptop/tablet) with a webcam, microphone, headphones (ideally Bluetooth to avoid cables) and internet connection (preferably wired).
- Downloaded the communication software prior to the first eLesson and set up a working account.
- Arrange for the webcam to be set up to show both face and instrument.
- Test the set up works before the first eLesson.
- Provide written consent via the online form from the parent/carer for recording eLessons if this is something you/your child wishes to do.
- Know that I will not make any recordings.
