Step One - Equipment & Software Check

Hardware/Software Requirements - make sure you have these and know how they work:
* Broadband/Highspeed Internet Connection VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) is only possible with a fast connection.
* Computer and Operating System compatible with free Skype software from Skype.com This includes all contemporary PC and MAC platforms.
* Video Web Cam for visual connection This is the least critical part of the connection; if your web cam is slow (as mine is) it will still do what is needed for lessons.
* Input/Recording Mic for two-way (Full-Duplex) audio connection A Logitech USB mic is recommended for this task. It seems to deliver clear and consistent audio, and avoids the problem of including the motor sounds of the computer that built-in mics have.
* A USB or Firewire Sound-Card/Interface Recommended for output to good audio speakers.
This will provide clarity and volume control for the lesson or

Step Two - Complete Payment

Lessons are $25 per half-hour and $40 per hour.
Payments are accepted through PayPal. Members can pay directly, and non-members can process payment using a credit card. It is asked that bulk payments be limited to a maximum of $200 (four one-hour lessons.) Time for payment to clear will be required (generally a few days for a Can. payment.)
You will be contacted once the payment is cleared via the email address used to contact me or make the payment, or another specified in advance. In order to maintain a steady lesson schedule, regular advance payments will be required, allowing time for processing. Payments by PayPal require verification time. This typically takes less time than waiting for a check to clear.

Step Three - Get Connected

Once payment has been cleared, a time will be scheduled for the first lesson. All times are subject to the whims of a working musician's and family man's schedule, who lives in the EDT/EST time zone. I will email you my "skype name" so you can initiate the skype call.
Be sure to test your connection prior to each session. Also learn to change the input/output settings in the skype software to match your hardware (your mic/input and sound-card/output.) An email account should be open throughout the lesson, preferably one that can recieve .mp3 files, .pdf files and .zip files as needed.
Please note that while playing together might be possible when internet server traffic is very low, typically the lag time of signal transmission precludes direct jamming. In addition to existing materials, the lesson might include having an mp3 emailed to you to play along with.
Lessons will begin to wind down a few minutes before the end of the allotted time. For this reason, I ask that we maintain focus from the beginning of the lesson.

You will need to have the following equipment:

* Computer (PC or Mac).
* Webcam w. integrated Microphone - Logitech™ has a range of models that you can chose from. Most laptops nowadays are sold with integrated webcams.
* High-speed internet connection (DSL or Cable) - around 256Kbps or higher is preferred for video conferencing.
* Headphones - you may be required to use them if audio from your speakers is being picked up by your mic and being transmitted back *
Skype account - Skype is a free service that allows you to make calls over the internet. [Download Skype for Windows or Mac OSX].
Once you have set it up, add my contact (which I will have e-mailed you), and we will meet at your scheduled lesson time. I will arrange to meet a few minutes prior to our first lesson, so we can sort out technical issues, if any. *
Your instrument should be in proximity to your Skype computer.
