Online Piano Lessons

Piano students are highly encouraged to attend their lessons in person. This allows the learning process to serve the student best, as in-person lessons with a teacher allow them to better catch physical technique errors. Students generally find they are able to stay more engaged during the lesson. However, if you're simply unable to attend in-person sessions, our virtual classes offer the same caliber of instruction and personalized attention that define JKW Music Studio. Let the piano keys be your guide to musical mastery, wherever you may be.

Beginner Piano Lessons

Everyone has to start somewhere. And beginners often choose to start here! Our hand-selected instructors are adept at guiding learners of all ages through the foundational elements of piano playing, fostering a nurturing environment where musical dreams take flight.

In our beginner lessons, we focus on building a solid understanding of piano fundamentals, including proper hand technique, posture, and basic music theory. From mastering scales and chords to exploring simple melodies, we provide a supportive and encouraging environment for students to develop their skills and ignite their passion for music. We are committed to preparing students for future musical endeavors and performances, setting a strong foundation for high musical proficiency through a performance-based curriculum.

 

Advanced Students

Advanced piano students need a piano teacher whose education has given them high-level technical skills and musical knowledge, which they can impart to their students. Every piano instructor at our school has studied in a university or dedicated secondary-level music school; they have participated in countless masterclasses, performances, and competitions.

Because of this high level of training, students learn even the hardest pieces of the jazz and classical repertoire. Lessons can prepare students for Rcm exams and university auditions and empower students to compose their own music in any genre- even pop!- and, of course, give them the self-confidence to take their skills out into the world.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What age groups do you cater to for piano lessons?

At JKW Music Studio, we welcome learners of all ages! Our piano lessons are tailored to suit children, teenagers, and adults alike. Whether you're a young prodigy or a seasoned enthusiast, our instructors are dedicated to guiding you on your musical journey.

2. Do I need any prior experience to enroll in beginner piano lessons?

No prior experience is necessary to enroll in our beginner piano lessons. Our curriculum is designed to accommodate absolute beginners, providing a solid foundation in piano fundamentals, including proper hand technique, posture, and basic music theory. Our experienced instructors will guide you every step of the way, ensuring a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

3. How do online piano lessons work?

Our online piano lessons are conducted through live video calls, allowing for real-time interaction between student and teacher. Using a webcam and microphone, students can see and communicate with their instructor just as they would in an in-person lesson.

4. What if I don't have a piano at home? Can I still take lessons?

Absolutely! While having a piano or keyboard at home is ideal, it's not required to enroll in our piano lessons. Many of our beginner students start with a keyboard or digital piano before investing in an acoustic instrument. Our instructors can guide you in selecting a suitable instrument and offer recommendations for affordable options.

5. How often should I schedule piano lessons?

The frequency of piano lessons depends on your individual goals, schedule, and level of commitment. Many of our students opt for weekly lessons to maintain consistency and progress steadily. However, we understand that every student is unique, and we're happy to accommodate a schedule that works best for you. Whether you prefer weekly sessions or bi-weekly lessons, we'll work with you to create a personalized lesson plan that fits your needs and helps you achieve your musical aspirations.

6. Do I have to learn classical music, or can I learn other musical styles?

Your piano lessons can focus on whatever genre of music you prefer, including popular rock songs! Some things are fundamental to all styles, such as rhythm, understanding harmony and chords, and building your overall agility, but the actual songs played are only dependent on student skill levels, whether they are beginners or at an intermediate to advanced level.

Parents often are confused as to why their child seems to hate practicing (we see it a lot). But, sometimes, all that is needed to make lessons fun is changing up the content.

7. Couldn't I just learn piano techniques at home?

There are a lot of great online lessons, like free videos on YouTube or cheap courses on educational websites. However, what sets these online lessons apart from in person is the dedicated and personalized nature of the lessons.

A video cannot see where you are in the learning process or what you are struggling with. It also cannot see the gaps in your education or how you best receive and retain information. Your piano instructor can. Our Winnipeg piano lessons make learning faster and easier thanks to private lessons that are uniquely tailored to you and your needs.
