It seems pretty obvious that the biggest advantage of videoconferencing over high –performance networks is the real-time accessibility and less cost of physical transportation. I happened to find this great video clip about the Master class which University of Oklahoma School of Music cello student Erin Dunn had with David Geber, Chairman of Strings at Manhattan School of Music on 10 May 2001.
While I was watching this video clip, it reminded me of an old friend of mind who was studying the cello in London during the early 1990s. He used to pay a visit to Paris for private lesson with a very famous cellist almost every week. He definitely enjoyed having lessons with him, and found himself improved a lot. However, as I remember, the only complaint he had was that paying for traveling every week was way too expensive and it took him entire weekend. We all know that things have changed in a very convenient way.
I am curious about how good the quality of the audio sounds, but in the view of the teacher demonstrating to the student how to use the bow, how to improve the vibratos and etc can be as good as and as real as having a lesson in the same room. This fascinating way of music education will open the new door for musicians all over the world and inspire them.
