Online learning

My preferred medium for online lessons is Skype. However, if for some reason Skype doesn’t work for you, I can do WhatsApp, FaceTime or Zoom instead – just let me know what you need.

My Skype account is catherine@jennawaymusic.co.uk and you will need to set me up as a contact. Please do this well ahead of your lesson time. I will accept any contact requests, and then will call you when it is your lesson time.

How we can do a lesson over Skype

You will need two pieces of kit - a laptop/tablet/phone to transmit the Skype call and a separate laptop/table/phone to play your tracks on. Trying to run both from one machine crashes Skype. Please make sure that whichever device you use to play tracks is loud enough for you to hear, but not so loud it drowns you out!

I would suggest that if you are using a phone or tablet to do the Skype bit, you put that on a music stand alongside your music, so that you can stand comfortably to sing or play, and I can see and hear you clearly.

Please make sure you have all the tracks I've sent you recently, and all your books. Please let me know before your lesson if you can't find something and need it re-sent to you.
