(written by Karley Spangenberg)

Have you (or your child) ever wanted to learn piano but felt like there just wasn’t time to drive to and from lessons? Or maybe the idea of starting as a beginner feels a little overwhelming? You’re not alone. The good news is that there’s a simple, flexible way to learn that meets you right where you are, from the comfort of your own home.

I teach one-on-one piano lessons virtually, and yes, it really works! Whether you’re just starting or picking it up again after years away, online piano lessons provide students of all ages with a fun, personalized, and low-pressure way to learn. With more families in the community exploring at-home learning, now is a great time to give it a try.

Whether you’re 5 or 95, it’s never too early or too late to begin learning music. As a piano instructor with students around the world, I’ve seen how music enriches lives,  not just by teaching people to play songs, but by boosting confidence, focus, creativity, and joy. Thanks to technology, your musical journey can begin right from your living room.

Why Choose Online Piano Lessons?

Virtual lessons offer the same personalized instruction as in-person classes, without the need to travel. All you need is a keyboard or piano, a computer or mobile device, and an internet connection. From there, I work with each student individually via video, adapting every lesson to their goals and learning style.

Here’s why families love learning piano online:

• No travel required: Save time and enjoy the convenience of learning from home.
• Flexible scheduling: Choose times that fit your family’s routine.
• A comfortable setting: Students often feel more relaxed in a familiar environment.
• Customized instruction: Every lesson is tailored to the student’s progress and pace.

“Taking lessons remotely is so very nice. At first I was apprehensive, as I am an older adult and not so up on technology, but I quickly fell in love with it because it is such a time saver!” — Karen F., United States

Music for Every Stage of Life

Piano lessons aren’t just about music; they offer lifelong benefits. For young children, learning to play the piano develops motor skills, enhances attention span, and supports early math and reading development. For teens, it serves as a creative outlet that encourages discipline and effective time management. For adults and seniors, the piano can relieve stress, improve memory, and even delay cognitive decline.

Studies show that people who play instruments regularly are up to 64% less likely to develop dementia. Piano engages both sides of the brain, improving everything from language to problem-solving. It’s a powerful mental workout with lasting benefits.

What to Expect

Students typically start by learning posture, hand placement, and simple songs. In just a few months, they begin reading music, playing with both hands, and understanding rhythm and basic music theory. With regular practice, students can progress to intermediate pieces, expressive playing, and even composing their own pieces within the first year.

Every student’s journey is unique, and I customize the experience to match their needs, whether they’re brand new or picking up where they left off.

“I’ve learned more in three lessons with Karley than I did in three years with other teachers.”— Ruth S., United States

Connecting with the Community

While I teach students across the U.S. and globally, I’m especially passionate about working with families in my local area. I’m excited to connect with the John J. Byrne Community Center in Uniondale, which provides programs and resources for youth, seniors, and families. Together, we’re making music education more accessible to everyone. You can check out the Byrne Center’s community programs at www.byrncenter.org.

If you’re in the Uniondale area and considering lessons for yourself or your child, now is a great time to try virtual piano lessons. They’re fun, flexible, and personalized for your goals.
