1 to 1 Fiddle Teaching

Due to Coronavirus, I am carrying out all of my teaching online and I am delighted to offer a dual picture feed with the option of 4 camera/screen shots, including picture in picture. This means that students can see the following as necessary –

Video

• Standard front view, with my whole fiddle/both hands in shot
• close up of my fingers from above
• notebook/diagram view of my desk
• live laptop feed for discussing Sheetmusic, Audio on Logic Pro or Sibelius writing software

Audio

• Professional quality audio, pre mixed so my voice, violin and piano are nicely balanced
• Direct audio feed so I can play music from my library, Spotofy, Logic, Sibelius without feedback

 Teaching on Patreon

I’m relatively new to this platform, but slowly and surely getting the hang of it and uploading lots of interesting teaching content.

Below is an example of the sort of thing you might find there and for more information, head on over to http://www.patreon.com/patsyreid

Tuition Gift Vouchers Available

Due to popular demand, I am now selling tuition gift vouchers. I teach at home in Perth, Scotland and can provide tuition in fiddle, classical violin, viola, cello, piano, composition, arranging, orchestration and music theory. For those living further afield, I am happy to teach via Skype or FaceTime.

For the aspiring techies, we also have a recording studio in-house, so if anyone is interested in learning about recording, production and generally making music on computers, then we can offer that too!
