[LUTE] Re: Online tuition
70 pupils here. Not all of them on Zoom, luckily. Compression galore. No way to demonstrate or hear dynamics, especially things like sfz. Some student are happy to send in and receive video clips. Sound wise a much better medium. Video Exchange can be finalized with an on-line lesson, better solution.

I researched all free communication platforms, and jitsi seemed most trustworthy. Sound is good if your mic is good. The other side didn't complain. Anyway, choose your poison, as they are all using the internet...

Same here Michael, sound wise Zoom is the best option and in one on one lessons there are no known security issues. If pupils are worried about the Fb-link or data hoarding, I offer WhatsApp video call.
