Online music lessons that actually work

Online lessons are most effective when setup is simple and the teaching is structured. Here’s the rhythm that drives progress — for beginners, returners, and exam prep.

  1. 1
    Choose your instrument and goal
    Beginner fundamentals, confident progression, or exam prep — start with intent.
  2. 2
    Build a simple weekly routine
    Short, regular practice beats occasional long sessions. Your teacher guides exactly what to practise.
  3. 3
    Review and adjust
    Good online teaching is feedback-driven — technique, timing, and next steps are made clear.
What you need for a great first lesson
  • A phone, tablet, or laptop with stable internet
  • Headphones (recommended for clearer sound)
  • A quiet space + a chair with good posture
  • Your instrument tuned and ready
  • Any songs, sheet music, or goals to share
How teachers give feedback online
  • Real-time coaching on technique and timing
  • Demonstrations + repeat-back practice
  • Shared resources (tabs, sheet music, exercises)
  • A clear practice plan between lessons
