Online Piano Lessons for Seniors
Piano Teachers Connect's online piano teachers and students.
If you are in your retirement years, one of the nicest rewards is the increased amount of leisure time. You likely have more time to do the things you love, and this is also a great opportunity to take up a new hobby, such as learning to play the piano.
Playing the piano is an excellent retirement hobby. Online piano lessons for seniors are rewarding and enjoyable, and playing piano can even have positive effects on your physical and mental well-being. Best of all, it’s never too late to start.

Yes, you can learn to play piano after age 60! While some things may become more difficult as we age, like taking up basketball or bodybuilding, playing piano is not one of them. If you are motivated to learn and have time for daily, consistent practice (just 30 minutes per day is enough), you can make satisfying progress.
And you don’t need any kind of musical background to begin. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve ever played a musical instrument or done much singing, and it doesn’t matter if you have never learned to read music. A skilled online piano teacher will start from the beginning and teach you everything you need to know.
Playing piano as a retirement hobby
Online piano lessons for seniors are a satisfying and enjoyable way to begin playing piano as a retirement hobby. Here are some of the many benefits for seniors learning to play the piano.
First of all, playing piano is just plain fun! Making music is one of life’s great joys. It’s such a great feeling when you are able to play a song you love, or even to make up your own songs.
Playing the piano also has a positive effect on one’s physical and mental health. Studies suggest that older adults learning to play the piano experience increased memory, verbal fluency, and processing speed, among other cognitive abilities.
Studies also show that playing the piano can reduce stress and lift your mood, even helping those suffering from depression.
Finally, playing the piano can be a great social experience. Many people enjoy weekly interaction with their online piano teacher. Others enjoy opportunities to play at social get-togethers and to play along with others.
