While every individual is different, many students have had success learning music in an online environment. Online lessons allow you to take lessons from the comfort of your home (or from work, while travelling, etc) without the hassle of a commute.

While your teacher may not be able to physically adjust your posture or technique or play alongside you in real time, there are many tools available to aid with these skills in the online world.

Students from ages 5-9 with no prior musical experience may need a parent present during the first few lessons to help with initial set-up and to ensure all technology is functioning properly.

I have worked with students dealing with the challenges of M.S, spinal and shoulder injuries, and arthritis. These conditions do not need to keep your from learning an instrument! As an individual who also deals with her own physical restrictions, I take pride in finding accommodations for students who are passionate about learning despite these challenges.

We all have rough weeks and that’s okay. I recommend attending your lesson to review any current material and to maintain forward momentum and motivation. Remember, you’re here to play music and have a good time, not to impress me. This experience is for you!
