Is It Better to Learn Piano Online or In-Person?
Piano Teachers Connect's online piano teacher Andree-Ann teaches an online piano lesson.
Nowadays it’s possible to take just about any kind of lesson online, including piano lessons. But you may be wondering how online piano lessons compare with traditional, in-person lessons. Which one is better?
In fact, both kinds of lessons are effective for learning piano or improving your technique. Which one is better for you comes down to personal preference.
If you place a high value on face-to-face contact, or if you do not have reliable internet access, in-person lessons will be better. On the other hand, if you value convenience and flexibility, live online piano lessons may be the better choice.
Here are a few reasons you might choose online piano lessons:
Online piano lessons are convenient. You can take online piano lessons from the comfort of your home. There’s no need to tidy up before the lesson begins, or to drive to your teacher’s studio.
Online piano lessons offer great flexibility. Taking piano lessons online allows you to choose from a greater variety of piano teachers, as you are not limited to those who live in your area. This makes it easier to find a teacher who can give online piano lessons at a time that works for you. It also makes it easy to find an online piano teacher who is an expert in the kind of music you want to learn, such as jazz or pop.
You can record online piano lessons easily. Most video calling platforms allow for easy recording of your lesson. This can be really helpful when you are practicing on your own, since you can listen to your online piano teacher’s demonstrations as many times as you want. You can even play along with the recording of your online piano teacher, which is an excellent way to practice.
