A well-prepared online lesson is as effective as an in-person one: the teacher's attention goes to gesture, listening and how you organise your practice.
How an online lesson works
Before the lesson
You receive the video call link and, if needed, digital scores to print or open on a tablet.
During the lesson
Playing, live corrections, demonstrations at Paul's keyboard, annotations shared on screen.
After the lesson
A written practice plan summarises exercises, tempos and goals until the next session.
Recommended equipment
An acoustic piano or an 88-key weighted keyboard
A stable internet connection
A computer, tablet or phone on a stand
A camera at a three-quarter angle showing hands and keyboard
Headphones or an external speaker to hear clearly
Ideally an external microphone for better sound
Advantages of learning online
No travel, which means better consistency
More flexible slots, including evenings
Lessons possible from any country
You play on your own instrument, the one you practise on daily
Excerpts can be recorded so you can review corrections
