I know what you're thinking: in-person music lessons are more personal than online music lessons, and you can't possibly learn from someone online. Well, that's where you would be wrong, my friend. The learning, whether in person or online, is the same! Online lessons are "real" live one-on-one music lessons with a teacher watching and guiding you as you sing or play, just like they're sitting next to you. Think about having a conversation with someone, either in person or via video call. Would you understand everything they communicated? Of course you would! Even if you've tried online before, technology has come a long way. The key to the equation is finding the right instructor, whether they're in person or online. That's why I love the quote: Now you can find the right music instructor, not just right next to you. Taking in-person lessons is excellent if you find a nearby music teacher, but you're limited to your area. With virtual music lessons, the whole world is at your feet to find the right music teacher who will guide and inspire you. I wish online lessons were available when I was a child, because there was a fantastic piano teacher about 45 minutes from me that I couldn't take lessons with. Now students can take classes remotely from anywhere with anyone!
In addition to being able to choose anyone regardless of their location, there are other advantages to having online lessons at home. Whether you go to the teacher's studio or the teacher comes to you, someone has to travel. Given the challenges, time, and cost of travel, being able to stay at home for both the student and the music teacher is a great benefit.
While many instruments are mobile, piano lessons are especially great online or virtually, where a student can play on their own piano or keyboard. As a child, it was challenging to play my piano teacher's piano every week, which felt unfamiliar after practicing on my own piano. What about the rarer instruments that are difficult to find nearby, like mandolin, dobro, steel pedal, and accordion? What if you live in a remote area where you can't find a music teacher near you? Since most people have the internet today, taking online music lessons is accessible to almost everyone.
Where finding a music teacher nearby is challenging, the difficulty of choosing online is the opposite problem, since you can choose anyone, anywhere.
