When you use our internet music lessons service, your music instructor's webcam and microphone will capture and transmit live video and audio through our service straight to your computer.

You will be able to watch and hear exactly what he or she is doing. Our service is 100% live! When using our internet music lessons service, you will need to have a webcam, headphones, and microphone as well. Many webcams come with a microphone already built into them. You can also choose to use a headset which includes a microphone and headphones. Headsets are very affordable and can be purchased for around $30.00. The headphones keep your microphone from picking up your instructor through your computer speakers which can cause unwanted noise.

The Logitech line of webcams are very affordable and are simple to install. You can purchase a webcam with a microphone included for as little as $40.00. By both you and your instructor having webcams, you will experience completely interactive internet music lessons.

Your instructor needs to be able to view your technique and hear what you are playing in order to make any corrections to what they are teaching. We also recommend that you have an always on, high speed internet connection such as DSL or Cable.

This will provide you with uninterrupted, high quality internet guitar, bass, vocal, violin lessons and more! With Music Virtuosity, you will be able to experience completely live and interactive webcam music lessons over the internet and get access to music instructors that would never have been possible before.
