Connecting to On-line lessons

You can connect to on-line lessons using a computer, tablet or mobile. Your device should be positioned so that I can see all the piano keys and your hands when playing. You will usually get a better experience when using headphones rather than the speaker on the device. I use RockOutLoud.Live’s Virtual Music Lesson Platform. This is optimised for music lessons and gives a superior user experience and sound quality to the usual meeting software.

Using a PC, Laptop, MacBook or Chromebook

Before the first lesson, please make sure that you have the Chrome browser installed. If you do not have Google Chrome, click HERE to download and install it free of charge. Please note that RockOutLoud.Live does not work on other browsers such as Safari, Firefox or Edge. To join a lesson:

  1. Open this link https://rockoutloud.live/join/jonbenger in Chrome. If Chrome is not your default browser, you may need to paste this into the address bar. When the page opens you will see a screen with two boxes, type your name in the first box, then click the “Join Room” button.
  2. Once I am online you will see a new screen with a blue “Ask To Join” button on the left. Click this button and I will then admit you to the lesson.

Using a mobile phone or tablet (including iPad)

Before using for the first time, please download the RockOutLoud app. If you are using an iPhone or iPad, visit the App Store and download the RockOutLoud app. If you are using an Android, visit the Google Play Store and download the RockOutLoud app.* To join a lesson:

  1. Open the RockOutLoud app. Enter your own name in the first box and jonbenger in the LessonID box. Then hit the “Join Room” button.
  2. Once I am online you will see a new screen with an “Ask To Join” button at the bottom. Hit this button and I will then admit you to the lesson.

*RockOutLoud.live will never ask for any of your personal information. There is no registration process to join a room, you won’t have to register to use the platform and there is no cost to download the application in the App Store or in the Google Play Store.

If you are having trouble connecting at the beginning of a lesson, please call me on 07760 393514.
