Music and Time Annotation << Back Formation and Development of Performing Abilities and Skills of a Harpist in the Process of Distance Learning V.A. Pronina The current unstable epidemiological situation in the world forces us to rethink the education system. This also affected the system of musical education at all levels. Conducting remote lessons using the Internet telecommunications network has become possible due to the improved technical capabilities of electronic devices and data transfer rates. Not all teachers recognize this way of conducting lessons, but sometimes there is no other way out. Distance learning to play the harp has both advantages and disadvantages. Teachers at children’s music schools and children’s art schools, as well as private tutors, must be aware of them in order to maximize their skills both during regular lessons and when conducting online classes.
