- All students have an option to participate in workshops, masterclasses and concerts organized by the Academy
Setup requirements
- Reliable high-speed internet, above 2MBPS internet connection. Broadband is recommended and mobile network is not as stable is signal is not strong.
- Copy of sheet music (if needed) with student and teacher. This may be in hard or soft copy.
- Good instrument of recommended quality at home
- Good electronic device, such as a tablet, computer (preferred) or a smart phone, setup where typically your teacher sits in your physical lesson. This ensures your teacher gets a view he would typically get in a class.
Minor hurdles
- Online platforms have a time lag that doesn’t allow two musicians to play along in real-time. This is not something typically done in a class as well, but this does slightly handicap the teaching pedagogy of the faculty.
- Audio quality is compromised. Most platforms compress the audio to make it stream, which affect the audio quality. However, quality is mostly good enough for faculty to make a judgement on what is presented to him/her.
