Frequently Asked Questions
Here are our answers to our most Frequently Asked Questions.
It is possible to start lessons with only a touch-sensitive keyboard. With the development of perception and repertoire, you may feel the need for an instrument with better touch response and sound richness. At that moment, the teacher will be guiding you to acquire the ideal piano.
We accept credit cards (via PayPal) and, via Ethereum blockchain (ERC20), also Tether EUR (EURt) and Stasis EUR (EURS). Lessons can be paid as single lessons or in 3, 6, or 12-month plans. All of our plans are available on the Lessons pages, whether for Online Piano Lessons, PianoClass for Kids or Custom-tailored Piano Video Lessons.
Yes, the quality is the same. Live lessons over the internet have been more effective than face-to-face for several factors:
– students are more concentrated at the beginning of each lesson and with all the material are ready to be used;
– teachers can show piano movements by angles not typically used in the classroom. In the online classroom it is possible to reposition the camera to have the ideal perspective on the screen (without having the student twists himself to see it);
– it is easier to record lessons, exchange links, documents and notes, and optimize class time and resources available to study between lessons. To understand exactly how a live web lesson works, see this page.
Independentemente da idade, o aluno só precisa gostar de música e querer aprender a tocar. Para os bem pequenos, alunos entre três e oito anos, temos um curso específico: PianoClass for Kids. As pessoas de mais idade podem vir a ter um limitador quanto a peças que exijam maior resistência física, mas apenas se tiverem algum problema de saúde específico (respiratório ou nos membros superiores).
Regardless of age, students just need to enjoy music and want to learn to play. For the little ones, students between three and eight years old, we have a specific course: PianoClass for Kids. Older people may have a limitation for playing songs that require more physical endurance, but only if they have a particular health problem (e.g. respiratory or in the upper limbs).

This recommendation depends on the age, the level, the repertoire size, and the time to study in between lessons.
Children up to 10 years of age have a better result with two lessons per week of 25 minutes to ensure concentration during class and avoid a very long period without orientation between lessons.
From the age of 11, lessons will be 55 minutes, and we define its frequency by the student´s commitment to the studies at home. If it is possible to study at least 1 hour a day at home, the two weekly lessons will bring a tangible result in the speed of the student’s musical development. If the daily study time is less than this, one weekly lesson will be sufficient and enable the student to enjoy his time with the teacher better.
Yes. Beginners, intermediate or advanced students can take lessons with us, even without previous piano or technology experience.
