Good day to the world of violinists.I just finished teaching a skype violin lesson to my student Emilly Thieme. She did an excellent job and it was her first skype lesson. If you have followed me on my posts you know I am moving to Gabrovo, Bulgaria and will be playing with the chamber orchestra there. It is an exciting move and I get to take a part of my studio with me by skype.
I first started teaching skype violin lessons this last summer when I was in Bulgaria. I had a student from a military family who had been asking me to do skype lessons the year before when I was visiting Bulgaria and I didn't do it. I thought to myself.... skype - how succcessful could a skype violin lesson really be. So finally I agreed this last summer and was SURPRISED to say the least. Not only did I teach violin online but taught piano too. Little did I know that this was setting a foundation to the future of my studio.
My students loved the skype lessons and even asked if we could skype all the time - even when I was back in the states.
I am so thankful for today's technology. With skype and youtube videos not only am I able to teach my students from across the world but am able to provide helpful information to violinists worldwide.
Heather Broadbent's studio headquartered in Racine, Wisconsin has officialy expanded to a global online violin and piano studio.
Happy Practicing!!!
