I haven’t lowered my prices but as of last week I am giving current students families who have lost all income into their household scholarships for at least Term 2. Any new student inquiries are at my normal price. I live in Douglas Shire in Far North Queensland and at last Friday I have 50% of my students on full scholarship going into term 2. I…[Read more]

Just got the official word this weekend that the recital venue is cancelling all events to the end of June because we are in a provincial health emergency … part of which is mandates on the size of gatherings.  I was already looking at doing an online recital as my backup plan anyways so it as a relief having them cancel (rather than worrying…[Read more]

@wesjacobs I’d say that would still count as a group call. Honestly, I think the premium is well worth paying for if you’re doing lots of online lessons at the moment.

@pamelawatkins-2 not sure about this but I’m guessing that’s because it’s a PC. The cable option might only be for mac.

When I want to screen share my iPad – it only comes up with 1 option and that is screen share over WiFi. How do I get the option of screen sharing a plugged in iPad? I have a HP laptop.

Thanks @nicolacantan. If I understand Zoom’s terms correctly, the extra ‘participant’ means you’re limited to a 40-minute session for the free version? Could I continue the session if I exited the participant (my overhead phone) before the 40-minute mark?

Btw, here’s my phone mount I purchased from Amazon AU this week. Not too much wobble when…[Read more]

Hi there, I actually got in touch with gloria directly.

cheers Vanessa

@robynegan-2 yes that’s probably the easiest approach in this case. What’s the sound problem you’re having? If it’s switching back and forth oddly you can use “Spotlight video” to manually set which video is showing to your everyone.

Here’s a video which ends with the “calling in” hack where you can connect another phone to the room as another participant. Hope it helps:

I have just spent hours and hours trawling through clips etc to see how to add my iPad to PC via cable  to use as second camera and think I have finally worked out that you can only do that if you are using a Mac not a PC……is this correct?

Would I therefore add iPad over keyboard as a 2nd participant to meeting ….will turning volume down…[Read more]

Hey Joel this is the one time you can say…the world is your oyster!!!!

pick a country, find a teacher…..no I am being a little flippant….I am sure someone from NYC  and a member of topmusic pro  will answer your call.

You have so much to look forward to learning and then implementing into your teaching path….I wish you well ….stay safe and sane

I wonder how we can get protection glass added now?
