<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #990000;">What&#8217;s the Best way to take Piano lessons &#8211; The Answers</span></strong>..</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span></p>
<p>At one time the thought of trying to take piano lessons online would have been ridiculous but as technology has moved on and video is so easy to do it&#8217;s now become a valid alternative to traditional private piano lessons.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">pspace</span></p>
<p>Finding the Best piano lessons online is quite a challenge for the non musician and the problem is more people would love to <strong>learn how to play piano</strong> but don&#8217;t always have the money available to pay for private piano lessons so<strong> </strong>being able to take piano lessons online at a much cheaper rate is a great alternative choice.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span></p>
<p><em>The trouble with finding the best piano lesson is </em><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">You need to be a pianist </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">already</span></strong> to be able to judge which will give you the best piano lessons <strong>right?</strong></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">sspace</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">This is where I come in.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span></p>
<p><strong><strong><span style="color: #0066ff; font-size: medium;">I&#8217;m an experienced pianist as can be seen in the video in the popup. If you wish to see it again just refresh this page.</span></strong></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span></p>
<p>Deciding to do something about the demand for piano lessons online I spent<strong> </strong>a couple of months<strong> </strong>in the summer of 2009 (the concert season always goes quieter for me in the summer) studying all the &#8220;Piano Lessons Online&#8221; courses available.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span></p>
<p>I was looking for several different  <strong><em>&#8220;must haves &#8221; </em></strong>in all these piano courses and to my surprise many of the courses I looked at fell by the wayside for more then a few of them.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">The criteria I considered were:</span></strong></p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="8" width="500" align="center">

<td width="442">
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">The Price:</span></strong> This was certainly a consideration but not the most important as all the courses I  investigated were certainly cheaper then traditional private lessons.</div>

<td>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Video:</span></strong> Any respectable course for people beginning piano lessons would have to include video piano lessons and obviously this was an important consideration as the main reason I feel I can recommend online courses is the advancement in web video technology.</div>

<td>
<div><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Audio:</strong></span> <strong>When trying to learn to play piano</strong> it&#8217;s very important to be able to hear what you <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>should</em></span> be sounding like. This is why teaching in person has been the only realistic method until now. There had to be plenty of audio examples in any &#8220;learn piano online&#8221; course for it to get past my demands for this criteria.</div>

<td>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Child AND Adult Friendly: </span></strong>As probably <strong>80%</strong> of child piano lessons enquiries are Parents trying to help their children learn piano it was important that any course I recommend should be in simple enough terms so that a child can progress easily and yet I didn&#8217;t want the course to be &#8220;talking down&#8221; to the adult pupils either. The best private teachers know the best methods for helping kids learn piano and so should the best Piano Courses.</div>

<td style="text-align: justify;" valign="top">
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Diversity of Styles: </span></strong>Everybody has their own type of favorite music. I felt it imperative that everybody has the same chance of success doing a learning piano course regardless of their personal taste in Music.</div>
