By Andy Penbram


There have always been a large amount of distance learning courses on how to learn to play piano and for plenty of other instruments too but the last couple of years saw an uprise in the quantity of folks who learn piano online thanks to the enormous amount home study piano courses available. To learn piano online has its advantages and disadvantages but in general it can be a good way to get started, if all goes well you will find a professional piano teacher later to go onto more advanced levels of playing.

Personal Piano Teachers

There are several benefits to going to a private piano teacher instead of learning to play the piano at home alone but there are also many downsides. On the whole it can be somewhat limiting having a teacher as the lessons are generally hour long sessions attended once every week. The benefits of having a teacher are that you've got a person around who will be in a position to show you any errors in your playing style or posture and who will give you ongoing useful feedback on a regular basis. You also have the advantage of being able to get one on one attention and critiques on your playing each week. There are a few downsides also , you are restricted in regards to what you can learn as most teachers won't let you choose the music or the style you need to play. At the best you will have to choose the teacher for the style they teach and few are versatile and teach multiple styles. With a distance learning course you can progress at your own speed and will learn not only the simplest way to read music and play classical pieces but also the right way to play by ear and the way to play jazz, blues gospel and so on.
