My mother told me never to trust strange people on the internet.
I'd be interested in seeing answers to some of dcstudio's specific questions.
Keypeg, dcstudio has not read the link about the job (own words - I am too lazy to click the link) so I feel like I have nothing to reply to. If you are interested in teaching piano live online, read the link and get in touch. I have a waiting list and am looking for a piano teacher to work with me.
I think you'll find we have plenty of our own. I used to teach someone in Thailand. I'm too lazy to do it on any regular basis now. Anyway, all you need is someone to say to you every week - 'No, that's not relaxed' for about 3 or 4 years then maybe they'll say yes. Money for old rope really!
You taught your student online?
Yes on Skype. And, as it turns out, I'm an ex-head of music myself so I feel your pain so-to-speak!
Poor man. I'm sure he thought this'd be a cinch.
If you mean the one I was talking about, who set things up for this purpose, I don't think he ever thought that. There is way too much careful planning and detailed work evident. The thing is that Skype teaching is not just in-studio teaching with a camera stuck in. It is not a cinch - not for the teacher but also not for the student. Simply getting the camera at a decent angle is virtually an impossibility.
I would sign up, but I'm not willing to teach for $22.50 an hour (US dollars.)
No, I mean Mr musiclessonsanywhere.
Got it. I guess you didn't visit the sample lessons - he's a she. That's why I didn't get who you were referring to.
My bad.
I'm used to £35 (though I should be charging £45). All he'll get is monkeys for those peanuts.
to the OP: I do apologize for sounding so rude... you are new here... I have been in this forum for 10 years.. I realize now it has made me very cynical... I automatically assume the worst. Please try to understand though, an honest offer such as this from an honest musician is almost unheard of here... An honest offer from a newbie--you would be the first I have ever seen.it's sad...but oh so true maybe someone can turn this around by providing me an example of a business offer made on PS that wasn't misrepresented in some way.... or shady. so please don't take our comments personally.
Camera angles are never a problem, I also receive gifts through the post!
