Mooz Online Lessons
Anyone tried Mooz for online lessons? Thanks ahead of time for your sharing your thoughts. Yes. It’s great 👍 Equal quality to Rockoutloud but easier to use and easier onboarding for students. Ian B. The cost is double compared to Zoom, right? Kym N. Compared…
Can’t Hear with Zoom Original Sound
I wonder if anybody has experienced this with online students – I have had many many online students during the years, primarily using Zoom (a 10 mth interlude with Rock out Loud), and with two different families who have keyboards, I cannot hear their keyboard…
Personable and Fun Online Lessons
Hello, here is the video recording, as promised, of the ‘Personable and Fun Online Lessons’ session I ran today. Hope you get some value from it. In hindsight, if there’s one topic I would have included its PETS. So useful for SM teaching, lockdown having…
Skype and Cameras

Google Hangouts for Online Lessons
Just curious, but has anyone done an online lesson using Google Hangouts? I used to… so I know it fairly well if you have questions. But I like Zoom better mainly because it is a more common platform so less to get the students comfortable…
Weariness in Online Lessons
We’re now nearly three months into online lessons, and I’m sensing a growing weariness in some (not all) of my students. Anyone else experiencing the same thing? It’s normal for some of them to have a summer slump, but this feels different. What are some…
