One of the things I appreciate about online music lessons is how easy it is to integrate videos and games to illustrate musical concepts in a fun and engaging way. One of my students particularly enjoyed this fun video, so I thought I would share it here.

The online music teaching world has come a long way in the past few years. I teach lessons on Forte, a video platform that was created specifically for music lessons. It offers much better audio quality than Zoom or Google Meet. It also allows me to share videos, recordings and PDFs with students, and for both of us to contribute to a shared lesson notebook. Here's a short video clip that highlights some of the features of this platform.
