In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the NAMM Foundation is reaching out to performers and educators to reinforce the idea that learning at a distance is already a part of the music industry.

A webinar called “Bridging the Gap: Teaching and Learning Music Online” is scheduled for 9 a.m. PST Wednesday. Registration is here.

Topics set to be discussed include getting comfortable with teaching online; finding support and resources; creating lesson plans for online learning; and keeping things simple.
