  • When sending a student to accompany you, plan and do it before the lesson. Make sure the student plays it from a different source than the one he or she is using for the lesson. Means, if they are talking to you on a laptop, find that they are playing a song on their phone.

  • Be patient and do not become exasperated at the technical or minor issues you will find it.
