HINTS:


HEADPHONES/EARBUDS

   Some students have found the use of headphones or earbuds works well in hearing and in relaying their voice and/or instrument, mostly if they are already familiar with using them already.


CALL and RESPONSE

    More focus on call and response playing than playing duets and playing in unison. This is already utilized with in-person lessons so most students are already used to this.
