Are Online Piano Lessons Right for You?

​Are online piano lessons right for you?

Whether you’re a seasoned pianist or a beginning student, it’s

important to know what resources are out there for you to use

to learn piano in a way that will fit in well with your lifestyle,

budget, and specific goals. In the past, the only way to learn

piano was to study with a teacher by traveling weekly to their

home or studio and then come home and practice what you

learned throughout the week until it was time to go to your

lesson again. Nowadays, quality piano lessons are available

online and provide a great alternative to the most traditional

way of learning. How do you know if this type of learning is right

for you? Read on to find the key benefits of taking online piano

lessons vs. in person lessons.

Take lessons from anywhere

---

One of the greatest benefits of online piano lessons is that you can study from

anywhere in the world and with anyone in the world. Since you aren’t traveling to

your lessons, you can set up your computer, laptop, or tablet to access your lessons

and assignments at the most convenient times for you. You’ll also have access to a

greater variety of teachers compared to just your local resources, which can give you

access to a much broader scope of approaches to learning the piano. You can study

​ your lessons while on break at work, or even on vacation.

Online piano lessons are cost effective if you're on a tight budget

---

More often than not, you can get a great deal on lesson packages from online

teachers that cost a good bit less than in-person lessons. Plus, you’ll be able to access

your lessons as many times as needed, as they will be in video format and you can

save them on your computer. Many online piano teachers offer a few free lessons to

get you started as well, and can provide you with several options in regards to what

​ type of lesson package will suit your budget and goals best. 

Set your own pace in terms of reaching your goals

---

If your online piano teacher offers different lesson packages that you can purchase at 
​
one time, you can access them when you have the time instead of having to show up

at a specific time each week for a lesson that you haven’t had time to prepare for.

This works especially well for those that travel a lot for work, those who are busy

​ parents, or for students that are cramming for exams and other school projects. 

Access to great online learning tools and programs

---

Your online piano teacher already is savvy about using digital devices to teach lessons,

and they will also most likely use other software programs and educational websites

to supplement your piano studies. They will be able to recommend online sites that

help with learning music theory, rhythm, ear training, as well as programs that help

​ you learn notes, chord structures, and even composing your own music. 

These are just a few of the great benefits of studying the piano online. This method of

learning is great for anyone that is busy with family or work, retired and looking for a

new hobby, wants to find the most cost effective way of learning, likes working at

their own pace, and is excited about using other online resources for furthering their

practice. Online piano lessons also make great gifts for anyone that wants to start

​ learning piano, or that wants to return to playing after years of not playing.
