My music classes are normally focused on singing and movement. On Zoom, the only way for students to sing together is if everyone is muted. Needless to say, this can be a less-than-engaging experience. It helps when I have students get up and move, but if I'm sharing my screen with lyrics, instructions, or example videos, then I can't see my students at the same time.
My classes would be much more interactive if I could see what my kids were doing. That way I could spotlight students that are moving well, unmute individual students and have them share creative ideas for movement or improvisation, and generally let them feel like I know they're in the room. A second screen would make my live classes a much more engaging experience for my kids.
