Q: What about Internet Security?
Our computers and Internet connection are doubly protected by A) Webroot Secure Anywhere - the anti-virus, anti-malware and anti-spyware software recommended by the security advisor for the top 4 Forbes 500 companies, and by B) NetNanny, the world's #1 Internet filtering software.
Q: Why can't I schedule Internet lessons over the Internet?
All scheduling at A Sharp is done live over the telephone for the following reason: Our teacher's schedules are perpetually changing as new clients book new lessons and existing clients move themselves around. If you were to email us "What times do you have on Saturday?" by the time we've emailed you back three options and received your response, we've given away said time slot to someone else. When you call or Skype us, we'll book a convenient time for you immediately and you can relax and look forward to it :-)
Q: Do I need to buy or download any software besides Skype?
No, at A Sharp we use a great music lesson software program called "MusicReader". We can share with you what is on our computer screen using Skype, and we use a Wacom tablet & stylus pen to create annotations and notes. To see what your learning material may look like,
Q: Where do I obtain sheet music and books to use in my lessons?
We have an Educators License and Subscription at a reputable music site called 8notes.com We can download and share music specially tailored for you - legally! Advertisement free, and virus free! In addition, once you become a registered student you will have a password and will gain access to all of the site's resources - sheet music of all levels and styles, technique exercises, chord charts, play along tracks, metronome, interactive tuners, riffs - and more! You can also mail order hard copies from our extensive library of music books, sheet music, work books, and exam papers.
