Simple and Inexpensive Setup

It's very simple to get started. All you need is the following:

A computer (PC or Mac)
A high-speed internet connection (DSL, Fios, or faster)
A webcam (you must be able to transmit video and audio without a headset)
A free and easy-to-use Skype account
Your own musical instrument

How It Works

Webcam lessons function similarly to traditional private lessons. The student interacts with the teacher live in real time over the computer, regardless of distance! Students are able to play their instrument and receive direct feedback from Mr. West. Your teacher is also able to play and demonstrate techniques live, or can create demonstration videos which the student will view online.

Webcam lessons are $20.00 for a half-hour. They are scheduled at the convenience of both the student and teacher.

Instruments and Skill Levels

I have years of experience teaching all of the following instruments at beginning to advanced skill levels. These instruments can all be successfully taught live via webcam:

flute	clarinet (any)	oboe
bassoon	saxophone (any)	trumpet
french horn	trombone	baritone or euphonium
tuba	snare drum	violin
viola	cello	string bass
