Max T
Well-rounded tutor of Classical Piano and Rock Piano
Hello all. I've been playing the piano since I was just 4 years old and took this passion all the way to study music at Manchester University and play at a diploma level. Along the way I've picked up other instruments such as the electric guitar and drums and play in bands regularly. I've also learnt about music technology and have a small studio space at my home which I utilise regularly in my teaching and spare time.All these things I like to think make me a well-rounded musician.On the piano I am classically trained but can also teach about the basics of jazz and blues. My approach lies in not...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

What if I don't like my first beginner piano lesson?

Your peace of mind is our priority. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you're not completely satisfied with your initial lesson, we'll find you another tutor for free. We're committed to helping you find the perfect match.

Do I need to own a piano to start lessons?

Not necessarily! A full-sized 88-key digital piano or even a smaller 61-key portable keyboard is perfectly fine for beginners. Your tutor can offer advice on the best instrument for your budget and goals.

How much do online beginner piano lessons cost?

The cost of lessons varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own rates, so you can easily find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly listed on each tutor's profile.

Are online piano lessons effective for absolute beginners?

Absolutely. Online lessons are fantastic for beginners. Tutors use multiple camera angles to demonstrate hand positioning and technique clearly. The one-to-one focus means you get instant feedback to correct mistakes before they become habits.

How long will it take to learn my first song?

This varies for every student, but with consistent practice and expert guidance, many beginners are able to play a simple, recognizable song within a few weeks. Your tutor will help you set realistic and motivating goals.

Do I have to learn how to read sheet music?

While reading music is a foundational skill that most tutors recommend, your lessons can be tailored to your goals. If you'd prefer to learn by ear or play chords, you can find a tutor who specializes in that approach.

What equipment do I need for an online piano lesson?

You'll need a piano or keyboard, a stable internet connection, and a device (like a laptop, tablet, or smartphone) with a webcam and microphone. Your tutor will guide you on the best way to position your camera.

How do I choose the right piano tutor for me?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other students, and check tutor qualifications on their profiles. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your goals and ensure they're a great fit for your learning style.

Is it too late for me to learn piano as an adult?

It's never too late to learn! Many of our students are adults starting their musical journey. Our tutors are experienced in teaching adult learners, understanding the unique challenges and advantages they have.

How often should I take piano lessons?

For most beginners, one lesson per week is ideal. This provides enough time to practice and consolidate what you've learned without feeling overwhelmed. You can discuss the best frequency with your tutor.

What will I learn in my first lesson?

Your first lesson is about getting to know you and your goals. You'll likely cover the basics of posture, hand position, and identifying keys. You might even learn a simple melody or a few chords to get you playing right away!
