It is possible to start lessons with only a touch-sensitive keyboard. With the development of perception and repertoire, you may feel the need for an instrument with better touch response and sound richness. At that moment, the teacher will be guiding you to acquire the ideal piano.

We accept credit cards (via PayPal) and, via Ethereum blockchain (ERC20), also Tether EUR (EURt) and Stasis EUR (EURS). Lessons can be paid as single lessons or in 3, 6, or 12-month plans.

Yes, the quality is the same. Live lessons over the internet have been more effective than face-to-face for several factors:
- students are more concentrated at the beginning of each lesson and with all the material are ready to be used;
- teachers can show piano movements by angles not typically used in the classroom. In the online classroom it is possible to reposition the camera to have the ideal perspective on the screen (without having the student twists himself to see it);
- it is easier to record lessons, exchange links, documents and notes, and optimize class time and resources available to study between lessons. To understand exactly how a live web lesson works, see this page.

Children up to 10 years of age have a better result with two lessons per week of 25 minutes to ensure concentration during class and avoid a very long period without orientation between lessons.
From the age of 11, lessons will be 55 minutes, and we define its frequency by the student´s commitment to the studies at home. If it is possible to study at least 1 hour a day at home, the two weekly lessons will bring a tangible result in the speed of the student's musical development. If the daily study time is less than this, one weekly lesson will be sufficient and enable the student to enjoy his time with the teacher better.
