My amazing experience of teaching music online.

Friends, in this post I’m attempting to write about my experiences & some advantages of my online music teaching that I’m doing for the past 2 years both on the teacher’s as well as the student’s prospect.

1: It is an amazing experience because, you avoid wasting your time on commuting between your home and teacher's home, and also expenses towardsTravel.
2: Traffic problems and pollution (especially in India) hazards can be avoided.
3: Besides, total focus between a student and the teacher is better for the whole half an hour in this mode & no distraction.
Proximity is not a matter to worry about it.
4: You are not away from home are present for any need during this time.

I feel, in today's context, it is the most preferred mode of learning and both my students and me are thoroughly enjoying it. I am sure, more and more
people would choose this mode in future. In fact, my mother was successfully conducting classes in Maths and Science to US, UK, Singapore students through
online only and the response was quite encouraging. Due to paucity of time due to domestic pressure, nowadays she is unable to continue but still people are
asking her to take classes.
Personally I am happy that I am able to teach our traditional carnatic music to our people abroad, despite their being amidst western culture, and still
keep in touch with our culture.
