Piano lessons, one-on-one and online

The clearest window into how music actually works โ€” and the gentlest place to start.

From classical music to modern hip-hop, rock, blues and jazz, piano is everywhere.

The piano lets you visualize music like no other instrument, making music theory a breeze to understand. This also makes it ideal for those interested in composing and producing music in multiple genres.

With a gentler learning curve, a piano is the most suitable starter instrument for younger kids. But make no mistake, while it might be easier to get started with, there is no limit to how expressive it can be. You can play soft and melancholic or upbeat and funky. You can use it as an accompanying instrument and sing along with it, or make it the star of the show and play intricate pieces on it that utilize the entire range of the instrument.

๐Ÿงฐ Getting started

What you need to get started

A short list, with nothing exotic on it. If you are unsure whether the instrument you already own will work, show it to the teacher in the demo class.

Minimum age

6+

Our recommended starting age for piano. There is no upper limit โ€” adult beginners are welcome in every course.

Instrument and gear

A keyboard or digital piano with touch-sensitive keys

Bring what you own to the demo class. We will tell you plainly whether it is enough to start on, and what is worth upgrading later.

Your setup

A laptop, tablet or phone, headphones, and a steady internet connection

Classes are live video, one-on-one. A second camera angle helps on hands-on subjects, and a phone propped up against a book does the job.

Piano questions, answered

Do I need a real piano, or is a keyboard enough?
A touch-sensitive keyboard is enough to begin. What matters is that the keys respond to how hard you press, because that is how you learn dynamics. Sixty-one keys will carry you through Level 1; from Level 2 onward, 76 or 88 weighted keys make the technique work easier. Bring whatever you already own to the demo class and we will tell you honestly whether it will do.
How young can a child start piano?
Six is our recommended minimum. At that age a child can hold attention for a 30-minute one-on-one class and manage five-finger positions comfortably. Early classes stay short, song-led and full of games rather than drills.
Can piano really be taught online โ€” will the teacher see my hands?
Yes. Classes run on video with a second angle looking down over the keys, so the teacher can see fingering, wrist height and posture clearly. One-on-one online often beats a shared room, because nothing is divided between students and every minute of the class is yours.
Will I learn to read sheet music, or to play by ear?
Both. Level 1 introduces staff notation in the first weeks, and ear training runs alongside it throughout. By Level 3 you should be able to read a new piece and work out a song you have only heard.
