  • The video quality is very low on my iPhone.
    If you are viewing the site on a 3G connection the video quality will be lowered automatically to account for the limited bandwidth. If you switch to a WIFI connection the video quality will improve dramatically.

  • Skype webcam lessons
  • Does Skype work well for lessons?
    It does. The audio and video are clear especially when you use a direct ethernet connection to your computer (versus WIFI) and the video recording of the lesson is even better quality since it was recorded at the source. It is a better alternative to in person studio lessons in a lot of ways. Back
