Not to worry! Please call us on 020 3745 2868 and we will help you to set up. We will also answer any questions that you might have.
We will walk you through the basic setup to have you up and running in no time.
Yes, online piano lessons are very effective. We have been teaching piano online since 2012, and currently have 47 clients in 9 countries, who study with us online via Skype, Zoom and FaceTime. At present, 19 clients study towards and regularly take ABRSM piano exams, achieving strong results with an incredible overall pass rate of 100%.
Our online teaching process is actually very similar to our face-to-face teaching process. There can be a few small differences to which you can easily adapt after the first couple sessions.
There can be sound delays from either end of the call. Occasionally these delays can be quite noticeable, but on a day-to-day basis, unless you are playing duets, it’s not an issue.
For best results, teacher and student should speak or play in turn, not simultaneously, when learning online. Playing or speaking at the same time, can affect the sound.
5 – 8 years old – parents should be actively involved, at least at the beginning.
Otherwise, 8 years old.
Ideally yes, at least at the beginning. If your child is between 5 and 8 years old, you have to be actively involved.
Just one camera is needed. Either a camera built into your device as standard or a standalone webcam would work.
For the list of our fees, please refer to the
Fees section of our website.
Internet bandwidth can cause audio and video issues, especially when the teacher or student has a poor internet connection or a slower speed. This can easily be improved by purchasing a faster internet package from your internet service provider.
This can happen sometimes, but we find it to be relatively rare. However, if it does happen, please wait for us to reinitiate the connection, so we can continue the lesson.
We have learned that iPads and computers should be restarted from time to time, or else the screen can freeze during an online lesson. Please restart your devices regularly to help to prevent this from happening.
This rarely happens, but when it does, it often corrects itself within a few seconds. For those occasional times that it doesn’t correct itself, ending the call and restarting the device often does the trick.
Please refer to our recommended equipment list on this page.
Please have your pencil and eraser ready, as you might need to make notes in your score by yourself. We will give you very clear directions.
Not to worry! We use screen sharing features, and also we have several cameras. We can just zoom in and point to a particular place in your score.
Yes, we ask our students to provide a photo or scan of their scores.
Please call us on 020 3745 2868, and we will walk you through. It’s very easy!
Yes, please keep your computer or tablet plugged in during your online piano lessons.
It depends on the quality of your connection. If your connection is not great, it would be better to use a hard-wired internet connection. Use an ethernet cord to create a hard-wired internet connection. If you need any help, please call us on 020 3745 2868.
