Which setting in Zoom helps reduce echo during an online music lesson?
Answer: Enable original sound and disable audio processing
Enabling 'original sound' in Zoom disables built-in audio processing that compresses and filters music, reducing echo and preserving audio quality.
A student's video freezes during a lesson on Google Meet. Which step should be tried first?
Answer: Ask the student to lower their video resolution in settings
Lowering video resolution reduces bandwidth demand and is the quickest fix for video freezing without ending the session.
What is the primary advantage of using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) during online music lessons?
Answer: Students can record, play back, and analyze their performance in real time
DAWs allow students to record their playing, listen back critically, and see waveform feedback, making them powerful learning tools.
Which file format is best for sharing a high-quality recording of a student's practice session?
Answer: WAV
WAV is an uncompressed audio format that preserves full audio quality, making it ideal for sharing recordings for teacher review.
A teacher wants to annotate sheet music in real time during a video lesson. Which tool is most appropriate?
Answer: A PDF annotation app shared via screen share
PDF annotation apps like Kami or Adobe Acrobat allow teachers to draw, highlight, and mark up sheet music visible to students via screen share.
What does 'screen share with system audio' allow a music teacher to do during an online lesson?
Answer: Play backing tracks or reference recordings that the student can hear
Sharing system audio alongside the screen lets the teacher transmit backing tracks, play-along recordings, or audio examples directly to the student.
Which latency range is generally considered acceptable for real-time duet playing over the internet?
Answer: Under 25 milliseconds
Latency below 25ms is required for synchronized real-time playing; anything higher creates noticeable rhythmic displacement between players.
