YES! Online lessons are very effective.
If you’ve got a strong signal and a space to stand and move a bit, then you’re all set for a highly effective coaching sessions. Jamie has been teaching all over the world via Skype nearly every day for many years. In-person lessons are not possible for the foreseeable future, so give ONLINE COACHING a shot. You'll be pleased. There is some latency, meaning Jamie can't play anything for you due to the 1/2-second delay. But there are creative ways to overcome this. With clear video and very good audio, virtual lessons are very similar to in-person lessons.
How to get the most out of your online lessons
CHECK YOUR CONNECTION! Make sure audio/video are working properly.
Have your device in a location that allows you to move around (not sitting on the floor!).
Send lyrics, mp3s, etc. ahead of your session.
If you know how, warm up just a little before the lesson begins.
