A few people have asked me recently about in-person bass lessons, so I thought I'd better write about why I only teach on Zoom these days, and why I think it's actually better than the in-person lesson experience.

Why I Only Teach Bass On Zoom

I first taught one-on-one lessons online in the late 2000s. Skype wasn’t really up to the task, but a handful of people were interested in getting some lessons for whom me being thousands of miles away made in person lessons impossible.

Hmmm, Garageband's Score may not be right for you - it sounds like you need a more educational app?

Let's hashtag the shit out of this and see if anyone with better info than me pops up:

I've been doing a spot of #writing to help set a fellow #blind person on the right track for starting out playing tabla. So far 1.1k words on clarifying essential terminology, playing position, and one basic technique. This is mostly free stuff that is usually presented visually without accompanying verbal description, e.g., the hand positions, etc. I have asked for a voluntary contribution toward #coffee, because crafting words in this context is tricky.
