Online Piano Lesson

Private piano lesson via live video calling using Skype, FaceTime, Facebook, Zoom, Google Hangouts or Whatsapp.

As technology has advanced, more and more students have liked the idea of using video calling (e.g. Skype or FaceTime) or video sharing as a medium for participating in piano lessons. The increasing ease and accessibility of video calling on smartphones and tablets has made this a realistic and easy option in recent years. Nowadays, tablets and smartphones tend to be well designed for video calls.

Required equipment: For online lessons, you only need a smart phone, tablet or webcam and a fast internet connection. If you don’t have a fast enough or reliable internet connection you may want to consider video exchange instead. For video exchange lessons you can use a free file sharing platform such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or YouTube. When you send me your practice videos for feedback, I will send video responses. A tripod or stand is useful for holding your phone, tablet or webcam in a good position for lessons. The ideal position is one that allows your upper body and the keyboard to be in the frame. You can buy special mobile phone/tablet holders and tripods, or a music stand can work well. Alternatively, just prop up your phone/tablet on a nearby shelf or tablet.
