After many requests, I am exploring the feasibility of offering a limited number of weekly private lessons to selected students around the globe. In addition to face to face instruction in Miami, I am considering offering on-line lessons via Apple's iChat or other chat software such as Instant Messenger. If you are interested in private lessons with Ed Calle, please click on this link and specify the subject as private lessons.

Those students ineterested in cyberspace lessons must have access to the Internet, a computer with speakers and an internal microphone, and a computer camera. Additionally, students will also need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader, the Sibelius Scorch plugin, and Apple's iTunes and Quicktime or Microsoft Windows Media Player. Students will also need a music stand, metronome, tuner, and a CD, MP3, or minidisc player. Additionally, students are encouraged to purchase the Amazing Slow Downer software. Most lessons material will be distributed via PDF, HTML, and MP3 formats.
