Offering Online Piano and Theory Lessons in Australia
Technology and music go hand in hand. When I started teaching piano and theory over 25 years ago, my reach was limited to the areas where I lived. While I taught students from many towns and communities, my studio’s reach is now far greater thanks to online platforms like Zoom and Skype. Today, I’m thrilled to offer lessons not only in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom but also to students in Australia.
This is an exciting expansion for my online studio, Bach To Basics Music, as it allows me to connect with Australian students of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or someone looking to sharpen your skills, online lessons offer flexibility, accessibility, and a unique learning experience.
Why Choose an Online Studio?
Online studios like mine are ideal for students who may not have access to a local piano teacher, want to experience lessons from another country, or are exploring flexible scheduling and pricing options. This approach brings a world of educational possibilities right to your home, making it easier than ever to dive into music.
Whether you’re a working professional with a busy schedule, a parent looking for music lessons for your child, or a retiree rekindling a love for piano, online education offers personalized and convenient solutions.
How Do Online Lessons Work?
One of the most common questions I hear is: Can you really learn to play piano online? The answer is a resounding yes! Online lessons have come a long way, and technology has made the process seamless and highly interactive.
My studio is equipped with multiple cameras to provide an immersive learning experience:
- A desk camera allows us to interact face-to-face, making it feel like we’re in the same room.
- An overhead camera with zoom functionality offers a clear view of the keyboard. This allows me to focus on specific sections of the piano for detailed instruction.
- A mobile camera provides close-ups of hand positions, music sheets, and even footwork for pedaling techniques.
Additionally, I use screen sharing to annotate music during lessons. With the help of a graphics tablet, I can write on the screen, making theory and musical concepts easier to understand. All you need is a solid internet connection, and platforms like Zoom and Skype ensure great sound and video quality. It truly feels like a traditional lesson, but from the comfort of your home.
Is Online Learning Right for You?
Deciding whether online lessons are the right fit is a personal journey. For most students, online lessons are productive, engaging, and convenient, but everyone learns differently. That’s why I offer a free trial lesson.
The trial lesson is a no-pressure opportunity to experience an online session and see if it works for you. It’s important to me that you feel confident and comfortable with the process before committing. There are no long-term obligations—just an open door to explore music in a new and exciting way.
