Many online piano lessons simply consist of pre-recorded videos which are designed for students to watch individually, without any support and guidance from their teacher.
My online piano lessons are completely interactive and one to one, they’re just like the experience and teaching style you’d get from in-person lessons, but delivered online. This allows students to learn in the comfort of their own home, saving on travelling time and costs, whilst also allowing students to learn in a familiar environment. The video to the right gives an example of one of my typical online lessons.
The section below has more details about how my lessons are run. Also take a look at the testimonials page to hear from students about how my online lessons have worked for them.
I teach both children and adults, from complete beginners up to and including diploma level.
How My Online Lessons Are Run
I have 3 cameras: a standard forward-facing camera for when I’m talking to a student; a camera facing my piano keyboard so that pupils can watch me demonstrate; and a document camera so that I can teach theory and show notation of scores. I can mix these together for an even more interactive learning experience.

My Online Lesson Requirements
To benefit from one of my one to one online interactive lessons, you’ll need the following.
Piano
You must have an acoustic or digital piano, or keyboard with 88 weighted keys in order to start lessons. Advice can be given on this if you decide to go ahead with lessons.
Internet and Camera
You must have an internet connection that supports video calls, a login to Skype, and a camera that can be angled toward the piano keyboard. A phone, ipad, laptop etc are all suitable. If you have any questions please don’t hestitate to ask.
Timezone and Language
I will arrange lessons at a mutually convenient time between 09:00 – 21:00 British time. Lessons are given in English.
