MICROSOFT TEAMS HAS A GREAT SPLIT SCREEN THAT WORKS PERFECT. I've taught several students online through TEAMS and they can see me and my fingers very clearly. Unlimited time with no extra charges.
The advantages are great:
1. You don't waste gas and time driving to lessons
2. No worries about health issues related to Covid
3. 1/2 Lessons are cheaper than what most stores charge and I always go over my 1/2 hr and amount of homework and prep for me is not added to the cost. It does take up time to get songs ready for students during the week. I only take on 6 students a week, so each student has lots of attentions.
Here are 3 student testimonials:
My son and I have been taking guitar lessons from Lou for over five years now and at the beginning we didn't know anything about playing guitar. Now, we know over two dozen of our favorite songs, chords, rhythm patterns and he's presently teaching us about finger picking. He has not only helped us learn how to play guitar, but he has given me another opportunity to enjoy doing something with my son and all of this adds up to an outstanding teaching job by Lou.

I started taking guitar lessons at the age of 13 from Lou Valentino. When I first began my lessons I never imagined I’d be able to play like I can now. Now I am 16 and completed three years of lessons and I enjoyed all 3 years. Each
year I found I progressed more and more and that's all thanks to Lou's teaching style. He is an amazing instructor. My favorite artist is Taylor Swift. He taught me how to play so many of her songs I lost count. I feel I am ready to advance in
music theory and playing if I want to continue my studies in college. I highly recommend him.

My 10- and 11-year-old boys have taken guitar lessons from Lou for over 6 years now and they are now playing songs, reading music theory, playing certain rhythm patterns and have memorized 26 different chords. Lou's style of teaching is diversified. He has a wonderful balance of teaching and making it fun in between. He is patient with children, and you can tell he loves teaching them.
