The trial lesson lasts 30 minutes and is the start of a long collaboration. The better it goes, the more likely students stay with you. It also counts toward your success rate.
Before the trial lesson
Step 1: Open Lessons and click Student Info on the trial lesson.
Step 2: You see the instrument, music style, age group, playing level and language.
Step 3: Plan one or two suitable exercises, for example with a song from their favorite style.
Step 4: Quickly check your internet, camera, microphone and lighting.
If the student filled in the questionnaire beforehand, you'll find their goals and favorite artists under Students in the Student Info tab.
