Teach Online Music Lessons with Zoom - Studio Gear & Software Setup

[@MrJazz-yp9wg]

I used to teach but I got tired of the scene and then the pandemic came and I just shut the door completely to teaching any one period. But after watching your video you have inspired me to share with the world what I know and best of all....online where everyone and anyone can benefit from my lessons. Thank you so much for making this video.

[@nicolequesnel4691]

I have watched so many videos trying to get this information and no one comes close to explaining it as well as you do. Thank you so much! Learned more in 17 minutes than I have watching multiple videos the last few months.

[@Factotum6814]

Hi and thanks for the clear and knowledgeable instruction. I would add that using headphones (plugged in to the audio interface), is the best way to avoid echo and feedback. I teach online brass instrutrments (= acoustic) as well as using electronic keyboard and theremin (= electronic), using a mixer and audio interface going into my Mac as you have outlined in other videos. I forward your videos to my students - I should add that I'm in Italy (I teach"Music in English") and you are very clear and precise in all of your instruction, so your videos are also accessible by those who speak English as a second language (DAW comes up as "door" in the auto-generated subtitles, ha ha, but otherwise it's perfect, thanks to your clarity). Cheers!

All of your info was awesome and I'll be implementing them on those online lessons. Thanks for posting this!

[@AnnFBug]

Excellent advice, thank you! Just one area where I would disagree: I took the advice of several online piano teachers and bought a Blue Yeti mic for my electronic piano. it gives me superb sound so long as it is joined to my Mac with a good quality USB C adapter, is configured to the correct setting (cardioid) and positioned correctly. This took a minimum of trial and error. Of course a cardioid mic has to face the music, but, beyond that, I found it was intimidatingly loud and bassy when stationed on a table at the front of the piano, which made it very difficult to convey dynamics. I have now moved it to a shelf at the treble side of the piano, about a forearm’s length above the keyboard. This never fails to give me a little moment of pleasure at how good it sounds, so much so that I bought my daughter one as well. I realise that to connect the output from my piano would probably give a cleaner sound, but this method avoids a lot of clutter by mixing my voice with the sound output from the piano; and it sounds very natural. In a normal piano lesson, my pupils would not be sitting there with headphones on, experiencing a superior recording studio produced sound; they would hear the piano sound coming acoustically and mixing with my voice. In my opinion, the Blue Yeti is more than adequate. I have also saved quite a lot of money by doing it this way. Instead, I have spent money on: a document camera, positioned to view the piano keys from above; a large photography backdrop screen on a stand to keep the rest of my room private (as advised by my school); and any money that I can put towards this project from now on will probably go on another camera to show my feet on the pedals and some kind of vision mixer to enable me to change cameras really easily instead of using a drop-down menu on Zoom. Most kids respond to sight far better than sound these days. I find it cost-effective, therefore, to give them the clearest visual experience I can in order to keep their focus and attention.

[@MusicRepo]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I am glad you have had so much success with a USB mic. I agree, it is an excellent and simple solution. Hopefully this will help others ....

[@THUKR]

Hi, Thank you very much for this video. IT really has helped me understand some basics of audio setups. As I'm also starting online piano lessons, I have looked into setting up such a zoom compatible setup. In conclusion, if one can have a usb audio interface with sufficient enough inputs or if we use an audio mixer with USB connectivity, we don't need mixer and the usb interface at the same time, do we? For example in my case, I'm looking at a Presonus Studio 24C (this is quite similar to Focusrite 2i2) or Yamaha AG06 mixing console. If I did connect the microphone to one XLR inputs and the piano (L & R line out) to the other input as a mono (using these these splitter cables) it should be better right? Instead of splitter cables and separate line outs from Piano, what if I did connect the headphone out directly to the second mic input of the Presonus, would that work? On the other hand, in the long run, what would be more beneficial, Presonus 24C or Yamaha AG06, specially, if i'd like to record some piano music ? Thank you very much again for the great videos you post. subbed already :)

[@thebranngufam2984]

Great video! I learned a lot. So do the students have to go in and disable the defaulted audio enhancements on their end as well? To get the best results?

[@MusicRepo]

Hi, yes if they are playing to you, but not if they are just listening. Hope that makes sense. Thanks 😊

Hi there I just found your site and it’s great. This video in particular- This video was made nine months ago and I was just wanting your opinion as I heard the zoom settings have been altered? In other words do your suggestions in this video nine months ago still stand for today’s zoom teacher and student?

[@vocalcoachhelen642]

Thank you for this video. You mentioned that you can put a microphone up to speaker to record into a DAW from my student for Singing lessons from ZOOM but what I’m wanting to do is connect to my Pro Tools DAW from Zoom to get an interface that works from ZOOM to my Pro Tools session so the quality should or could be better but I’ve no joy getting this sorted. I’ve used vertical interfaces but they won’t connect to Protools so it’s very frustrating. I also use a Scarlet interface for recording in live sessions for teaching. Are there any suggestions you could advise me for connecting Zoom to Pro Tools. Would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks so much Helen

[@charlesfrishman231]

Thank you. If you enjoyed this you should also check out my newest video where I revisit all this 🙂🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmaseHWXgthqnpo

[@max.domante]

Hello everyone. What about using a camera such as the LUMIX G7 when teaching via zoom? I use it already for pre recorded tutorials. As a webcam it seems like a huge improvement of the video quality, but would this burn my MacBook Air 2020, consume to much CPU power and be just too much for a normal internet connection? I’d be great to have a full HD lesson… though if the connection freezes an investment such as a cam link “el gato” seem less smart. I’d like to know before buying, if any of your had the experience :) Many thanks for your channel, it has been a game changer for many. Cheers

[@kanesmith4961]

One component I'm missing is effective instrument monitoring AND hearing the Zoom output (i.e. the student) through headphones. I need my electric guitar and the students voice in my headphones, and obviously not my own mic. How would you approach that with this exact mixer+interface setup? I can do a complicated song and dance of software routing, but that introduces significant latency to my self-instrument monitoring no matter what magic driver you use, so now I can't play.

[@ulrikel.6858]

Thank you so much. A very helpful video. Especially for my as a beginner. I want to have such lessons with my e-guitar teacher soon. One question still left. I guess with mixer I have more features to control my sound, but just to understand the tech-basis: Do I need a mixer AND an audio interface to stream my mic/guitar OR is it enough to use the digital audio interface ? Thanks.

[@howiethedrummer]

Great video. Can you use an audio interface with an iPad. I tested it and I can hear and see them. They can see me but not hear me. Any tips?

[@andrebehnke6086]

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It is really informative and helps a lot. I was just wondering how you would go about with different camera angles especially teaching piano online?

[@MusicRepo]

I think you can position one camera to have a nice long view of you and your piano, but it's good to be able to switch between a 'face to face' instruction view and an overhead camera that shows a good view of your keyboard. There is a good video here that might help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqTKfJuHZpqWfK8

[@EnriqueRivasViolin]

Dear friends, very useful video. Thanks for sharing. My question:I have a mix but not an audio interface. It makes a big difference to record with/ without interface like the Scarlett?

[@EnriqueRivasViolin]

I mean: audio interface and/or mixer?

[@MusicRepo]

If you want to connect your Mixer up to your computer then you will need some kind of audio interface to do that successfully if it doesn't have built in interface

[@FurorBlrAlex]

Question: Should I use a USB audio mixer (ex. Behringer Q802USB) instead of a separate mixer and audio interface? Background: I'm a dance instructor planning for Zoom classes, and I will likely use a wireless mic for teaching, an ipad for music and a small speaker so I can hear (monitor) and coordinate with the music. Any other gear recommendations are welcome. I hope you and your loved ones are well during these difficult times. Thanks for the informative video, and thanks in advance for your response.

[@MusicRepo]

Thank you for your good wishes. I also hope you and your family are staying safe and well. If you are just buying kit for this one purpose, then the USB mixer should be fine. It will be one less component to set up, and it will be a more cost effective option. I am shortly going to upload a video demonstrating how to fit the kit together. ie what cables. I don't have a USB mixer, I am using a mixer and interface, but the principles will be exactly the same with the Behringer. You just won't need the additional cables and interface.

[@FurorBlrAlex]

@@MusicRepo, thank you for the prompt response and the well-wishes. I suspected as much, and it's nice to have confirmation before making the investment. There are so many possible options and configurations that it's easy to get stuck in the Choice Paradox. I look forward to the new video. Thanks again!

[@fbeegle]

So do you think you could get by okay teaching drum set lessons with just a MacBook Pro and an external USB mic? What would you think about the MacBooks own internal mic for such a use ... Looks like we have the same CPU ...

I have several professional microphones available but I don't have a USB mic yet.

[@jowells4850]

Really helpful video, thank you. Can I ask a question re the microphone. I will sometimes use an acoustic piano and sometimes a digital piano in my online piano lessons. Can I use a blue yeti mic for both of these scenarios rather than plugging my digital piano in directly? Thanks for your help.

[@MusicRepo]

Yes, don't see why not .... I have seen many online piano teachers just using one condenser microphone and they have got it working really well, so Blue Yeti Mic should be ideal.

Thank you for the very helpful tips. I’m a singing teacher and using my Zoom H5 as an audio interface and microphone. Am I able to plug in my keyboard to the H5 and still use the H5 as a microphone so the students get both my voice and keyboard?

[@MusicRepo]

I have a Zoom H4N and although it can record 4 tracks at once, when I connect it as an interface then it is only 2 channel. According to the specs here, it looks like you can use the Zoom H5 as a 4-channel audio interface www.zoom-na.com/products/field-video-recording/field-recording/h5-handy-recorder#specs However, Zoom will only pick up the first 2 channels (in my experience anyway). So you will have to find some kind of solution to overcome this issue. You'll see I refer to a couple of possible solutions - there are links in the description.

Hi Very useful informations about Zoom.

[@Costasmusicman]

Music Repo Thanks very much

[@RicardoMartinezSax]

Thank you so much for your videos. Do you have any ideas on how to use a two microphone setup for louder acoustic instruments such as brass using one for speaking and the other for playing? I use two microphones, one to move about as I talk and the other to play my instrument into. I'm constantly having to switch back and forth between the two microphones so that I don't clip while I play on the microphone used for speaking. If just using one mic, I have to constantly adjust my input to be heard at the right levels for speaking/playing. My initial thought is to use a limiter on the microphone used for speaking, in my case a lavalier mic, so as not to clip or distort when I play and keep a normal settings on the instrumental microphone.

[@MusicRepo]

I guess the ideal setup would be an instrument mic for the brass instrument, then the lavalier mic for your spoken voice. Each going into a separate mic input on audio interface with gain set appropriately on each one? Maybe a mic like this ... available as an XLR mic or wireless options www.audio-technica.com/en-gb/pro35

I've been teaching via zoom for a few months but I'm damned if I can work out how you bring up (at 9.19 in the video) something you call a 'zoom client' screen. When I use it I press invite and then before the pupil joins me all I get is the screen where I see myself (the one with 'security', 'participants', 'chat', 'share screen', 'record', 'reactions' at the bottom). Could you explain how you do this. I may then be able to use my external mic. Thank you.

Do you use headphones though your interface? Mine don't work through Zoom lessons but only work with my DAW application

Hi, yes I do, choose the interface as the speaker, plug headphones in to interface, make sure headphone volume is turned up and you should be able to hear through your headphones then
