Virtual Piano Lessons 2020/2021Virtual Piano Lessons is the new standard in music education.
With this popular format, you can have a fulfilling piano journey in the comfort of your own home. Students who partake in virtual lessons may also sign up for virtual performances and competitions. |
How to prepareSwitching from in-person to virtual lessons with a new, former, or continuing teacher may be an exciting venture for students who are ready to keep growing their skills.
Setting up is as simple as having a mobile device, tablet, or laptop and internet connection. If you have multiple devices, using the one with a larger screen may provide greater visibility when looking at the teacher. Keep your environment as you would in a regular lesson: as quiet as you can with assigned books, pencils, other lesson tools and your metronome app ready to go. |
WHEN TO STARTIt is always good to sign up as soon as you have a preferred time-slot in mind. Since virtual lessons are on the rise, more and more people are interested in signing up.
Having a creative outlet through private lessons with a professional instructor may be a great source of joy during this time where we may benefit from all the joy that we can get. Contact your teacher for lesson tips and recommendations regarding repertoire, expectations, goals for the year and any required material for the lessons. The sooner you place any necessary orders, the faster you will be able to use those materials in your lessons. |
The benefits of virtual piano lessons right now
emotional release and expressionStudents are taught how to honor and express various emotions in their virtual piano lessons by using a wide variety of tools. These include intelligent use of dynamics, phrasing, musical tones of various colors, hand and finger movements, stage presence and choreography. It is always the goal that students are comfortable on their own and able to express themselves by themselves before the lesson is over.
With everything else going on, students will have a great emotional outlet in their virtual piano lessons. |
Developing musical skills and techniqueProfessional technique is a key part of developing long lasting skills at the piano. These may be taught by rote, or a combination of approaches including the use of standard piano lesson book series such as Piano Adventures, Music Tree, or Alfred Collection - to name a few. Each student's technical skills are developed based on their strengths and technical needs. Virtually developing piano technique is simply a matter of being observed and guided towards a high level of technical accuracy during the lessons.

A Sense of comfort and calmMusic is such a great sense of comfort from spas, yoga, meditation or any other activity that uses soothing music. Virtual piano lessons can have the same effect due to the teacher's warm personality, gentle approach and when peaceful and relaxing music is chosen. Students are always part of the repertoire selection process and may decide to focus on calm or comforting repertoire pieces during this time. A collection will be made to meet the emotional needs of each student. Students may then create playlists of themselves so that they may keep track of their progress and listen with pride.
