AND I also have capability to teach via Skype. If you are interested in that, please contact me. The rates below will apply, and we can do a free introductory session to check audio and video quality. I’ll be developing this site to include a video section, so keep an eye out for that.

Resources for students:
- free online metronomes - there really is no excuse now. . .
-
- Webmetronome.com - Very simple user interface, will accent different beats.
-
- Seventhstring.com - Interesting metronome. Its "click" sound is a recorded old-fashioned wind-up metronome. Runs as a Java applet, so may not be the best if you have issues with Java.
-
- Metronomeonline.com - My favorite interface, pleasant click, and the best-functioning of the three, in my opinion. Also has downloadable applications for your mobile phone, for a small fee.
-
- Bestmetronome.com - Nice interface, with simple, accessible, and advanced options. Nice click, lots of interesting features with each option.
- free online tuners - SERIOUSLY. NO EXCUSE.
-
- Seventh String - Nice interface, looks easy to set up, and you need to have a microphone set up on your system.
-
- Also check the iPhone/iPod, Android, and BlackBerry App Stores! There are many, many apps available for tuning & timekeeping.
- music recording freeware
-
- Audacity - Very handy application. Recording and editing capability.
