Requirements and Setup
Both Mac and PC platforms are supported. Below is a list of "must haves" for online lessons.
· Before your first lesson, you will receive a meeting invite via email - no membership is required from you. Simply click the "Join Meeting" button.
· Newer computers and laptops come already equipped with a built-in webcam. If your computer does not have one, you will need to purchase a webcam. Be sure to test your equipment and make sure it is working prior to your first lesson.
· High Speed Internet. To test the quality of your Internet connection, check out the link on the "Other Links" tab. Also, give your Internet provider a quick call. Students have been upgrading their connectivity for as little as $5-$11 a month.
