As this Covid lockdown goes on, the weeks just seem to pass by! I can hardly believe that it’s been 8 weeks now since my son, Robin, went to school. He’s certainly missing the social aspects of school life, if not some of the lessons! And I’m sure that we adults are also missing lots of things about our ‘normal’… Read more »
Damian OxboroughComments Off on Lesson Availability w/c 11th May
Over the weekend I published a newsletter to my students and parents to highlight the need for a change in the way lessons are conducted for a little while. As most of you know, I’ve been teaching exclusively online for the past 6 weeks, and this is working really well for those students who are taking Zoom lessons and singing… Read more »
Hi students / parents. It’s now been six weeks since lockdown began in the UK, and all my face-to-face lessons were put on hold. And, I’ve got to say that I’ve really missed the routine interactions I had with my students before all this Covid thing kicked off – exchanging pleasantries and updates about what we’d each done over the… Read more »

Hi everyone. Hope you’re all doing well and managing okay. I think the strangest thing about this whole Covid-19 lockdown is how ‘normal’ everything feels on a day-to-day basis. Every time I glance at the news it’s just a stream of Corona Virus related tragedy: deaths, shortages of food and medical equipment etc etc. And, yet, for most of us… Read more »

Damian OxboroughComments Off on w/c 6th April 2020 – Lesson Slots
Despite the current lockdown in the UK, my service continues to be busy with loads of students electing to continue their lessons via video link rather than in person at my house.

Damian OxboroughComments Off on Lesson Availability, w/c 30th March
As you know, lessons with me are now exclusively online and will remain so until the lockdown is over. I’ve been using Zoom video conferencing technology to great effect – there’s actually very little difference between this and doing face-to-face sessions, especially with instrumental students. Plus, lots of people are using Zoom to keep in touch with family members, so… Read more »

Most of you will be familiar with this by now because lots of families are using the technology to stay in touch with one another during the Covid-19 lockdown. I’ve got to admit that before I tried it I was a bit… Read more »
