I’ve been onboarding remote beginners by sending a 2-minute mirror + counts recap after each Zoom session and reminding them to β€˜dance to the camera like it’s the back row’ so they keep projection and lines. It’s not a substitute for live corrections, but it bridges the gap β€” and when my cat improvises across the keyboard, it’s a great cue to practice pausing and resetting.
