Online Piano Classes and How Your Child Can Benefit From Them

We can say that without a doubt there has been a significant rise in online education in the past few years.

Modern technology has allowed for an important change in the field of music education and education in general. One of the reasons why online piano classes are becoming so popular among children and their parents is exactly because of the perks they come with.

This is precisely why Vivace Music School decided to start primarily offering online classes - due to the many perks we have seen when comparing our online work vs. in-person teaching.

We are so glad that students can now take piano lessons from the convenience of their home, free from the constraints having to be somewhere else other than home at a specific time of day as well as avoiding transportation costs, both in regards to time and money.

This has created new possibilities for learners of all ages and abilities to study the piano and advance their abilities.

 In this article we will further explore some of the benefits that your child will get from enrolling in an online piano class.

Convenience

The convenience and flexibility that comes from having online music classes is simply remarkable. Whether you live in a big city and your child’s school is on the other side of the city or you live in a rural area where there is no music school in your proximity at all, online music classes help your child and you save up both on time, money and energy.

There is nothing like the convenience of being able to learn at home, or anywhere where you have an internet connection and a keyboard.

At Vivace Music School, we believe that musical education should be accessible for everyone – the method of online learning allows us to bring musical education closer to every child from various countries all across the globe, no matter where they live or what the opportunities they have in their area are.

Time flexibility

Additionally, by removing the need to go to and from lessons, online piano lessons can save up a lot of time. This can provide students more time to devote to other pursuits or obligations, like school, friends and family.

When the classes are online and aren’t bound by the physical space where the classes are done, the students have a wider variety of times where they can take the classes. They can take them during their study break, they can take them early before school, midday or at night before bed.

The time flexibility gives students a wider array of learning schedules to choose from, but they also increase the availability of the teacher for giving classes. While before, the teachers had to come and go to the music school, now they can teach even more students instead of commuting, all while giving the students more flexibility regarding the time which they want to have the lesson.

Less stress – more learning

Also, commuting to class can cause stress for some children. Or maybe the commuting itself isn’t stressful, but there might be delays in traffic, or the train or bus might be late, so this lateness could cause stress. Maybe (and most likely) the child has other school duties and they are stressed out that commuting takes away so much of the time they could be spending on learning or working on their school homework, or they simply would rather use that time in spending more quality time with loved ones such as family members and friends.

If commuting to the music school causes stress for your child, when a child is under stress, it is harder for their brain to learn new and process new information.

So, the more relaxed your child is, the better they will learn. And what is more relaxing than having the option to choose when and where they will take the classes with our amazing and inspiring teachers.

 

Customized learning

Another important benefit of online piano classes is the wide variety of customization available in regards to the individual student’s needs and their learning style.

There is a whole range of teachers available, which can teach your child music in the way that is best fit for them. In general, with in-person classes you are limited to teachers only from your specific city, town or area.

With online education, you have access to so many teachers with different specialties and from different parts of the world. This makes it much easier to tailor to your child’s specific needs. In the case that you think your teacher isn’t a good fit for your child’s learning needs, you can always find another teacher that will be more compatible.

Frequency and consistency

The very convenience and flexibility of online piano lessons allows for having a certain desired frequency of the classes and having them consistently.

Sometimes, students miss their piano classes for a wide variety of reasons – their parent isn’t free to drive them that day, some school activity came up, there’s a storm and it’s not optimal for them to go to the school.

Well, with online classes, the lack of consistency is a worry of the past – with only a good internet connection, your child can follow their classes no matter whether there’s a storm outside, despite whether or not their parent is busy or any other factor that would lead to the child not showing up to class.

Also, for students that would like more frequent lessons, this is more manageable due to the before mentioned convenience and time flexibility. Online lessons give the opportunity to have more frequent lessons without the extra time and monetary cost of transportation.

International community

No matter where you and your child are from, online piano classes will offer you an international community to connect to. Ranging from Canada and USA to Singapore and Hong Kong and everything in-between, when your child is participating in online classes, they have the opportunity to participate in and build a global community of teachers and students in which they can grow, support each other and learn together.

Career opportunities

Music career

In the case that your child is interested in music professionally, their active participation in music education which online classes allow for can open up a variety of career opportunities for them in the future. Especially considering the connection with a global community, maybe an international opportunity may come to them also.

A music career can progress in many fields, specifically music-related careers can include performing, composing music, music therapy, becoming a music teacher and more.

Fields related to the music industry

However, their knowledge of music might open other doors which are not specifically tied to the music itself, but are linked to the music industry in other ways – marketing of music, advancing the learning of music through technology and so much more.

Other fields

Additionally, the skills a child learns when learning the piano, such as discipline, creativity, emotional expression and regulation and problem-solving are skills which can be applied to many and any areas that they are interested in for their future career.

Conclusion

To sum it all up, online classes are becoming increasingly popular amongst children and parents for the specific reasons outlined in this article. Some of these perks include convenience, time flexibility, lowered levels of stress, customized learning, international community and a variety of career opportunities.

If you’re looking for an extracurricular activity for your child which will immensely benefit them both in the present and in the future, look no further – online piano classes are sure to improve your child’s life in more than one way!
