 FAQs

  • You need a piano, a device with a camera and microphone, and a good internet connection to have online piano lessons. At the piano, it’s good to have a pencil and a metronome.

  • A digital keyboard with touch sensitive keys are OK for beginners. For intermediate and advanced students, I recommend an acoustic piano to study the art of piano performance.
