Video Conferencing and Music Performance Education

Christianne Orto writes: "... We [at the Manhattan School of Music] initially explored videoconferencing technology to accommodate the touring schedule of world-renowned violinist, conductor and MSM faculty member, Pinchas Zukerman, so that he could teach his students while concertizing around the globe.
