We are a third of the way into hurricane season here in the southeastern United States. Regular summer storms cause anxiety and discomfort. A little bit of rain never hurt anyone, but lightning storms make it difficult to trek to the car! Drivers become easily irritated, and road rage and poor vision cause collisions, which cause backed up traffic, which causes delays, which causes yours truly to be 20 or 30 minutes late to every lesson some afternoons.
Some families are forgiving and flexible, but many families have somewhere else to be at certain times. A lesson will have to be cut short or cancelled altogether, resulting in lost income.
What is a good alternative to driving in inclement weather?
I propose that on certain occasions, we may have video chat lessons.
I tried to have a phone lesson man years ago, just a short, ten-minute session over the cellular. With the piano out of tune and the connection cutting in and out, it wasn’t very successful. Technology is more solid now. With video, I can see where the fingers are and what keys are being played.
If I’m running late and it’s pouring down rain, please consider this option.
