How Much Do Online Piano Lessons Cost?
One of the most important considerations for anyone interested in online piano lessons is the cost. Prices can vary widely, so it can be difficult to determine what you should reasonably expect to pay.
When it comes to online piano lessons, it’s important to consider the type of online lesson. A quick internet search will yield two basic types of online lessons.
The first consists of pre-recorded video lessons. These are often sold as packages or as monthly subscriptions where you pay to access the website's library of lessons.
The second type of online piano lesson is live, online piano lessons with a private online piano teacher. This type is more expensive since you get a dedicated, one-on-one piano lesson customized to meet your needs. Live online piano lessons with an experienced online piano teacher ensure that you develop good piano technique and allow you to make faster progress.
