Online Piano Lessons
Online Piano Lessons for Beginners Who Want Music to Click
I teach piano over Zoom, live and one-on-one, to adults, kids, and people coming back after years away, anywhere in the United States. It's me on the other end, not an app. Lessons are $40 for 30 minutes or $60 for an hour. You start with a $20, 30-minute intro, and that gets credited toward your first month. We get there through chords, songs, and rhythm, and you'll have a small win early.
$20 for 30 min, credited toward your first month · in person in LA or online
Is this a real teacher or an app?
A real teacher. Every lesson is live and one-on-one with me, Thaddeus Arndt, on Zoom. An app can tell you whether you hit the right note. I can see your hands, hear what went wrong, and change the plan right there. I wrote more on private piano teacher vs app vs YouTube.
Do you teach adult beginners online?
Yes. Total beginners and people coming back after years away both do fine online. We start with chords and songs you actually like, and reading and technique come along with them. There's more on adult piano lessons if you want the long version.
Who teaches the lessons?
Me, Thaddeus Arndt. I've played piano for 22+ years. I have a BA in Music from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with piano and music technology. I taught piano through the Guitar Center lesson program from 2017 to 2024.
How much do online piano lessons cost?
$40 for 30 minutes or $60 for an hour, same as in person. The first lesson is a $20, 30-minute intro, and it's credited toward your first month if you keep going. No contract. Pause or stop whenever you need to.
How much do adults need to practice?
Not an hour a day. Three or four focused sessions of 15 to 25 minutes will move things when each one has a job. Busy week? We shrink the plan. Nobody failed.
How lessons work
We pick one simple musical goal. Then chords, technique, and theory all hang off something you can hear.
Online setup
A phone, laptop, or tablet is enough to start. Later on, a side camera angle and better audio make things smoother.
Best fit
Online piano is great for adult beginners and returning players. Kids do well too, as long as they can stay with a structured lesson.
- We start with music you can actually hear and use
- Technique gets built around what you want to play
- You leave every lesson knowing what's next

Do I need a real piano?
A keyboard is fine to start. Weighted keys help, but you don't need them on day one.
Can I learn without reading music?
Yes. Chords and songs can come first.
