Are there any Disadvantages of the Webcam Lesson Format?

  1. The one shortcoming of live video lessons is when the teacher and student want to do a duet.  A tenth of a second delay in transmission of the audio is not noticeable except when playing live duets where it does throw off timing just a bit.  Is there any way to work around this?  YES!  The answer to this question actually is one of the major strengths of the video webcam format.  McCoy Music LLC can send you an audio file instantly of our (teacher) part of the duet or jam track that you are working on.  You, as the student, can simply play the supplied audio file on your computer's media player, therefore we can hear both the recording and your part live and give our undivided attention to the performance of your part.  The additional benefit is that you, (the student), can practice all week long with the audio file which is much better than just playing duets only one day a week during the lesson.
