Are you familiar with Skype, Ed?

It would be like regular, individual, one-on-one lessons, except that that the teacher and the pupil are not in the same room. Like "videophone" in science fiction. In fact, that's exactly what it is (the future is here now).

Not like watching a pre-canned lesson on the computer. A lesson over Skype is happening in real time, with two-way communication and immediate feedback.

In fact, I've been thinking about giving guitar lessons over Skype. If you have a computer with Skype, it saves the cost of renting a studio, driving to the studio and finding a place to park, etc., etc. And the pupil(s) don't have to leave their own home to take lessons.

No reason it shouldn't work as well as lessons face-to-face--which, in fact, it would be.
