Live Video Online Piano Lessons

The effectiveness of online piano lessons versus face-to-face lessons depends on various factors, including the individual’s learning style, the quality of instruction, and the resources available. Here are some considerations:

Convenience: Online Piano lessons offer greater flexibility in terms of scheduling and location. You can take lessons from the comfort of your home and fit them into your schedule more easily. This convenience can make it easier to stay consistent with practice.
Access to Instructors: With live online lessons, you can potentially access a wider pool of instructors from around the world, allowing you to find someone whose teaching style and expertise best suit your needs.
Technological Tools: Virtual Piano lessons often utilise various technological tools such as video conferencing, screen sharing, and pre-recorded tutorials. These tools can enhance the learning experience by providing visual aids and demonstrations.
Self-Discipline: Online learning requires a certain level of self-discipline and motivation since there’s less accountability compared to face-to-face lessons, where you have a scheduled appointment with a teacher. Some learners thrive in a self-directed environment, while others may benefit from the structure and accountability provided by face-to-face lessons.

Ultimately, both online and face-to-face piano lessons can be effective depending on the individual’s preferences and circumstances. It’s essential to consider your own learning style, goals, and resources available when deciding which option is best for you. Additionally, trying out both formats and evaluating which one suits you better can be beneficial in making an informed decision.

You will need a computer or fully charged laptop, tablet, or smartphone, and Zoom, Messenger, or WhatsApp for our live online piano lessons. Laptops work best with most instruments, as you can angle the camera towards your hands. A dependable Wi-Fi connection is also needed to provide a strong enough signal so the lesson is not hindered by freezing. If your internet is slow, you could improve your connection by using an Ethernet adaptor that plugs straight into your computer and modem for a direct connection.

You do not need a full-size acoustic piano to get started. A keyboard with touch-sensitive, weighted keys is ideal for beginners, though one with fewer than 61 keys may limit more advanced pieces later on. If you are unsure what to buy, your tutor can recommend a suitable keyboard for your budget and goals during your first lesson, or you can browse our keyboard lessons page for more guidance.

Students aged 5 to 7 may require a parent to be present to keep them focused and to assist with teaching materials. We’ve found our online piano tuition works well with all new and existing students of all ages and abilities throughout the UK, with hundreds learning with us online every week from all around the world, all progressing at their own pace with the same care as a face-to-face piano lesson.

We understand that looking for local music teachers can sometimes be a challenge, but with Pro Music Tuition, peace of mind is assured! All of our tutors are DBS checked, and the majority hold a degree in music, and some also hold a QTS in education. Our expert tutors undertake frequent training, therefore fully aware of the importance of internet safety.

Yes. Our tutors are qualified to examine your playing closely and have experience identifying and correcting technique, even through a screen. Once your camera angle is set up correctly through a laptop, tablet or iPad, your tutor can achieve an excellent view of your playing throughout each lesson, and can also listen closely to your sound quality through Zoom. See our tip below on setting up your audio for the best online lesson experience.

Book an online piano lesson with Pro Music

For the clearest sound during your online piano lessons, we recommend the following simple audio settings in Zoom once your meeting has begun. First, in the lower left-hand corner next to “Join Audio”, click the arrow and open your audio settings to test your speaker and microphone. Next, under the microphone settings, uncheck “Automatically adjust the microphone volume”. Set “Suppress background noise” to low, so the software does not mute your instrument, and select “Show in-meeting option to Enable Original Sound from microphone” under Music and Professional Audio. Choose “Echo cancellation” if you are using earbuds or your computer’s built-in microphone and speaker. Only use “High fidelity music mode” if you have a direct Ethernet connection, and “Stereo audio” only if you are using a separate audio interface. Once your meeting starts, click “Enable Original Sound” in the upper left-hand corner, and you are ready for your online piano lesson.

At Pro Music, we offer flexible virtual piano lessons that can be tailored to your preferences. Our lessons are available in 30-, 60-, and 90-minute durations, allowing you to choose the option that suits you best. Normally, lessons are booked at least once a week to ensure consistent progress, but we are open to discussing alternative scheduling options.
