Sample Zoom Requirements for Students

All classes will meet remotely via Zoom Conferencing.  Please adhere to the following regulations concerning our remote online course:

• You must present yourself to class on camera.  This is required for every class you attend.  This is a performance class and we must see you!!
• Do not join class from your bed.  Get out of bed and present yourself to class in another area.  Joining class from your bedroom is perfectly fine.
• Do not join class in your bed clothes.  Change clothes and prepare for class as though we were meeting live.
• Do not eat breakfast during our class time.  This is distracting and can become a huge problem.  Coffee or any beverage is fine. No Kahlua Coffees. :0)
• Do not use your phone or text during our class.  This is disrespectful and can cause disruptions to our class.  If an emergency occurs step away from the camera and conduct your business.  Be sure to return to class.
• Please try to mitigate (eliminate) any external noises and distractions.  I know that certainly things will happen which we will hear but try to eliminate them as much as possible. (For example:  Tell all of your friends and family your class schedule so they know not to interrupt you unless it is an emergency or give your puppy or kitty a toy or distraction so they are occupied).
• Do not smoke during our class.  This includes tobacco products, vaping products, pipes, or any other devices used to smoke tobacco or any other product.
• Be sure that your internet, and especially bandwidth can accommodate your needs for this class.  You will be recording both video and audio so be sure your internet is reliable and capable
• If at all possible, please do not attempt to conduct this class on a cellular phone.  This presents many problems and will be an issue once we start performances.
