Online Lessons 

Online lessons have become an increasingly popular choice for my students. Not just because I can teach them regardless of where they are in the world, but because it gives them the comfort and convenience to learn at their own pace in their own home. Also, while the UK and the rest of the world is currently experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic, online lessons allow my students to learn their instrument and interact with me face-to-face in complete safety.

For online lessons, I use a popular video communications app called Zoom. It’s free to use, easy to set up and very reliable. I’ll send you simple instructions on how to prepare for your Zoom session so you can get connected to me quickly. If you wish, we can also arrange a no-obligation introductory, a free trial session to make sure you are completely comfortable with the arrangement before finalising your first ‘official’ lesson.

When I had my first lesson with Vijay my intention was to have a one off class, but in that first hour I learned so much and I understood there was so much more to learn that I immediately signed up for 10 classes.
