First, thanks to Adam for being kind enough to allow me to post this on his forum. For the first time ever, I will be offering live interactive harmonica classes for all levels online. You can subscribe to the membership of classes for only $20/month and attend up to 16 plus classes each month.
Here is the link to learn more: http://www.harmonica123.com/live-online-classes.html I also have a new YouTube video up describing this in more detail at: http://youtu.be/jCVif9ANxiw
Thanks and hope to see you guys in class online. Send any questions to RonnieShellist@gmial.com or click the first link and read the FAQ.
It's through Adobe Connect..so you'll log in via internet and see me on video and hear me. then you can ask questions via instant messaging. I can also give any student live access via their mic or video so I can hear and see them. That allows me to give you instant feedback during the feedback sessions. I will also be able to scroll power point presentations with graphs, charts and images alongside my video. So..it's like watching me through Skype but more advanced!! It's gonna be killer. I hope you guys give it a shot.
Welcome to the forum. I hope that you will get a chance to post here ever so often seeing as you have the kind of experience and ability that informs and inspires beginners and seasoned players alike.
I have a wifi setup in the small remote town that I live in that rivals the reliability of the postwar Iraqi power grid. That notwithstanding, I can't pass up the opportunity to study with a master who's music I enjoy so much. I'll be trying that out soon. Thanks man.
I hope that you, your friends and relatives escaped untouched by all the fires out there this year. That was some hairy shit brother!
beard- ronnie wasnt there, right? did his partner teach anything or was it just a welcome speech. and then what happened? i guess i was looking for more details. how many students? did you take turns introducing yourselves or playing? was there just one mic at a time? anything else you can offer in the way of details?
Ronnie wasn't there. Like you said welcome speech. We tested webcam and device.
We were just a 4-5 I think but they have been doing the introduction thing for all week. There were people from all round the world. He will try to do multiple session at different hours.
The guy was very enthusiasm, the technology is solid. There was no lag on my end. You chat live, the program can show documents, allows student to talk/webcam. I think it can allow multiple webcam at the same time.
He talked about "special guest".
Its just starting and they seem open to suggestion.
There is feedback session and coffee time at the schedule. I guess this will be the time to play live and discuss on the webcam. The actual lessons are recorded so I think it will be more of Ronnie teaching.
He mentioned time at the end to respond to question and hear people play sometimes.
I hope it get to be very interactive with a community, forum and everything you'd expect.
if i understood ronnie right when he talked about this at the bean blossom blues fest, all of the lessons will be live and recorded for the archives. if you cant be there live, or even if you can but want a review, you go to the archives. questions and some playing will be available on the live lessons. the questions will be recorded for the archives. the playing will be deleted to protect my self-esteem! lol
for $20, i dont think you can go wrong. if it aint working out for you after a month, opt out.
do you get to see all those that are online? i guess i'll find out monday.
