Not many people know that I play the French horn. I hadn’t played since I was child. But after I was shot, I started speech therapy, physical therapy, and music therapy. Relearning an instrument has been a huge part of my recovery, and I’m getting stronger every day.

Here is a photo of my student and me in a remote lesson. My students usually use one or two devices. If only one, they either have to move it from the music stand to the edge/lip of the keyboard, or angle it downward like in this shot

How are others doing remote lessons, if you are? I have been teaching using Zoom on my laptop and iPhone. I set up a tripod and attached my phone using one of those magnetic mounts for using GPS on your phone in the car
