Online lessons - What setup
do you need to take online piano lessons?
- A digital keyboard or acoustic
piano
- A laptop computer or tablet (always
make sure that your device is fully charged!)
- A pencil and a notebook
- A stable internet connection (if
you are using wifi, try to be in the same room where the
router is for a stronger signal)
- For advanced students, an external microphone
helps the teacher hear the low volume details better.
(Not required, but a microphone improves the listening
quality for the teacher)
Digital piano requirements
- A full-range (88-key) digital piano
with weighted keys. Weighted keys are most like an
acoustic piano 'feel'
- Equipped with a pedal and music stand
to hold piano books and sheet music
- The piano stand or table top should
be at or about 28” from the floor
- When sittiing on a piano bench or
chair, forearms should be level to keyboard while
playing. You can use
cushions to increase bench height.
A digital piano that does not meet
these requirements will probably not work for online piano
lessons. I will be happy to send you a list of digital pianos
that will work for your circumstance.
Upon enrollment, I will send you Setup
Instructional Videos to help you set up Zoom,
the video-conferencing tool that we will be using, as
well as a video for piano lesson setup for your
equipment.
