Sunburst is now offering online lessons and programs through Zoom! We put together a guide to help students get the most out of their online lesson experience.
EQUIPMENT/CONNECTION
In order to connect to Zoom.us, you will need one of the following devices:
Other recommended equipment:
GETTING SETUP
WAITING ROOM AND LESSON
We have a little virtual waiting room set up to help make connecting students and teachers as easy as possible.
HEADPHONES / MICROPHONE
Since music is the name of the game, having both students and teachers wear headphones greatly improves the overall experience. Headphones with a microphone (such as apple air buds or a gaming headset) are even better. Also, if you have an audio interface at home, try setting up headphones and a microphone through your computer for the best possible audio! Let us know if you have any questions as far as equipment and best practices go, we’d be happy to help.
IMPROVE AUDIO BY TURNING OFF NOISE SUPPRESSION
Zoom has an automatic feature called noise suppression that can cause loud instruments to cut out during calls.
ON MAC OR PC
ON iOS
PLAYING MUSIC
Playing or singing along with recorded music is a big part of lessons. The best way to facilitate this is to have a separate device with speakers in the room with the student, that can play audio from Spotify, Youtube etc., this allows you to hear the music well enough to play along to without latency, and lets your teacher better observe.
LESSON MATERIALS
Your instructor may share lesson materials with you during your call. They will be put up on the screen and If you’d like to save them for later, take a screenshot:
RECORD YOUR LESSON
You can record part or all of your lessons to review later while practicing!
Log in to view your calendar, cancel lessons and book make ups, update payment, and more!
