We had to most wonderful piano teacher last year from March-June. Both Madeline and Jack were learning by leaps and bounds. The sad news.....she moved back to the states to attend college. After spending the last 6 months trying to find a suitable replacement, we came up with an idea! Why not try piano lessons via Skype 5,000 miles away. Jerin seemed up to the challenge! Thanks to her willingness to see Madeline succeed (Jack is on hold for now), she is conducting our lesson 7am ET and 1pm CET. Amazing - her willingness and dedication, we certainly appreciate it!
I thought I give you a glimpse of our set-up. Remember that our wi-fi doesn't exactly work in our house due to the concrete walls in which you'll see in the photos below! So we must run an ether-net cable from upstairs to downstairs!
Step 1 - running the lovely blue ether-net cable from the classroom upstairs
through the classroom, out the door.....
....down the hall (gotta love the color of our 1970's tile).....
...through the banister (notice the securing mechanism used around the spindle!)...
...across the ceiling in the mail hall downstairs, and through the door to the family room.....
....then comes the computer positioned on a step stool, Rubermaid tote & 3 dining room chairs!
All this for one amazing lesson and the joy of seeing your child excel in piano! Madeline has also had the opportunity to play as the main pianist for several of our church services! It's been an awesome opportunity for her!
