Online Piano Lessons for Homeschool

When it comes to homeschoolers, online lessons, especially live online piano lessons, are a great option. With live online piano lessons, you get the convenience of learning from home while still experiencing a similar lesson format to in-person sessions. They are more affordable and flexible, allowing you to fit them into your busy homeschooling schedule. Plus, all you need to get started is high-speed internet, a computer, and a piano.

We are proud to offer incredibly experienced piano teachers who are specialized in piano. Unlike other websites where a piano instructor teaches other instruments like singing and guitar, our teachers exclusively focus on piano. We believe that students should get high-quality lessons led by instructors who have deep knowledge and have degrees in piano from top music schools.

You can take high quality piano lessons from these teachers at a fixed pricing. Check out our pricing page for more information.

At Lesson With You, once you submit the signup form, our customer service team will match your child with a piano teacher who is the perfect fit in terms of teaching style, personality, and schedule. If you have any specific preferences, you can include them as additional requests in the form we send you later.

Once your trial lesson is scheduled, we will also provide guidance on setting up the Zoom meeting. After the trial lesson, our client engagement team will follow up with you.

Our live online piano lessons are priced to fit the needs of everyone, including children and families. We offer fixed rates of $35 for a half hour lesson, $50 for 45 minutes, and $65 per hour. If you have multiple children interested in taking piano lessons from the same teacher, we also offer a special family discount. To help you with planning and budgeting, we’ve created exclusive lesson cost guides for piano. You’ll find that our pricing is both transparent and competitive!

The ideal age for a child to begin piano lessons is between the ages of 7 and 9. It also depends on your child’s individual development, especially their motor skills and their interest in learning the piano. At Lesson With You, we welcome students aged 7 and up, and for those under 10, we recommend that a parent be present during lessons. For children who are too young to read music, our piano instructors provide instruction with fun activities like rhythm games, ear training, and improvisation.

At Lesson With You, piano students will need lesson equipment in addition to high-speed internet. This includes piano or keyboard, computer or laptop, and lesson books. We use Zoom as our live lesson platform. If you have any questions or concerns about the equipment and lesson setting, just reach out to our client service team and we’ll be happy to assist you!

When purchasing a keyboard, there are three factors to consider: 88 keys, weighted keys, and sound quality. Regardless of your skill level, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced pianist, you should buy a piano with at least 88 keys. Make sure to get a keyboard with fully weighted keys, which typically provide good sound quality and offer greater touch sensitivity and dynamic range similar to an acoustic piano.

When it comes to how often and how long your child should practice piano, it depends on their homeschool schedule, age, level, and goals. Our piano teachers recommend setting aside a consistent time every day for about 15 minutes of practice. This gives your child a chance to focus and work on the material they’re learning.

For children under 10, it’s recommended to practice for an average of 10 minutes each day, while for older kids, 15 to 20 minutes per session is a good starting point. The key is to practice consistently, commit to the routine and enjoy learning piano over time.

In live online piano lessons, students learn the technical and artistic aspects of piano music while developing a healthy and fun practice routine. Our piano teachers may suggest warm-up and technical exercises to help your child build strength and dexterity in their fingers. They will also learn how to read music, understand music theory, and practice piano effectively with various strategies to improve their playing.

For children aged between 7 and 12, it’s important that they understand the concepts and also apply them during practice. Our instructors make sure that every child fully understands and remembers the concept each time.

There are various piano curriculums available for homeschoolers, including method books. Our piano teachers suggest using traditional method books like Faber and Alfred’s as they combine music theory and repertoire practice. Some students who have a specific interest in a musical style, such as Jazz, may use supplemental material provided by the instructors. The suitable curriculum for each student will depend on their age, skill level, goals and learning style preferred by the parents.

Certainly! Preparing for exams, auditions or competitions is a great idea for children to develop a strong work ethic and goal-oriented mindset. We welcome all students who are interested in preparing for music exams or competitions. Our professional piano teachers have extensive experience in selecting competition repertoire and preparing students for performances.

Absolutely! Unlike self-learning piano from books, apps, and pre-recorded classes, live online lessons let your child interact with teachers and get real-time feedback. During these live sessions, the instructor can observe and listen to your child’s piano playing and give practical guidance on how to improve every aspect. They can also demonstrate the correct piano techniques, so your kid can observe their finger movements and imitate the playing in real-time. Besides, children need clear guidance on how to practice piano with focus.

This interactive setting, involving observation, imitation, practice, and improvement, is the most effective way to learn piano.
