“Should I be learning using online piano lessons or going with a real teacher” is a question that’s probably asked by some students.

Study is practice, observation, comparing, seeing what works, etc… So, someone could learn anywhere.

Learning piano online could have the desired effect for a particular student. Today, there are so many tutorial videos and different tips in different formats (pictures, audio, etc.) that someone can certainly get something out of all this.

As a piano teacher, I can see the downside of traditional piano lessons is that it cost money… That’s probably the first major obstacle, isn’t? Well, look at your goals.

My recommendation is that a student could take lessons using online tips and seeing a real piano teacher once a month or something like that, if money was really an issue. For a dedicated student who intends to make money playing music (professional or semi-professional), I would definitely recommend traditional piano lessons.

And totally new student who has never touched a piano before should have piano lessons the traditional way for a few months while keeping his/her eyes open for online tips. But for sure, a good teacher can be a positive vibe, show you “live” what you are doing that is wrong, etc…

So we all have our own ways and a piano student has a relatively good idea of his goals. Music is the art of sounds and if a student can produce good, cool sounds that he or others like, then it worked.

That’s a big subject so we’ll leave it like this for today.
