With all our programs moving online during this time of social-distancing due to COVID-19, we are offering the following resources to families.
PRODUCTIVE SET-UP FOR LESSONS
A video lesson generally works best on a computer so the screen is big enough for you to see the teacher and also yourself clearly. Typically the sound quality is better on a computer too.
Strengthen your wifi signal for the lesson by closing other programs/apps on your device and limiting downloads/streaming by other family members during the time of your lesson.
Be sure that your device is fully charged (or plugged in) before starting the lesson.
