It's really easy...I have a webcam, you have a webcam, you pay for lessons, then we log in to our webcams through whatever means ( I use yahoo messenger) at the predetermined lesson time. WE both have copies of the materials and I have a piano next to my computer. I use a mic headset so I'm hands-free and I simply angle the webcam down so students can see the keyboard, finger placement, etc. Using www.virtualartists.com students can keep up with lesson schedule, payments for lessons, progress, I can give assignments, students can access online resources for music, I can upload links and other things to my page and they can communicate various ways. I haven't done it this way just yet so I'll be experimenting with family and friends for free as this thing goes.

Hope that answers your question.
