My name is Lory Peters. I have been a piano teacher for more than four decades. I teach piano students online, using the latest audio, video, and streaming technology.

My online piano teaching practice builds on everything I have learned over the course of my teaching career. I taught in the public schools, as a college professor, and at my own teaching studio. Today, I focus on teaching dedicated piano students, no matter where they live in the world. Whether you live in an area where you are having trouble finding a qualified piano teacher, or just like the idea of taking lessons from your home, you will find online piano lessons with me to be a great way to learn the piano.

How Do Online Piano Lessons Work?

Online lessons work just like meeting with a local piano teacher. We meet weekly with at a regular time. Lessons are one-hour in length. Students sit at their own piano, while I teach from a video studio in my own home. We use the same streaming video service that businesses rely on for video meetings. Login is secure and only the student and I can see the video stream. Video cameras record every angle of my pianos, showing hand and key positions, pedals, and supporting materials like handouts and printed music.

When an audio example is needed, I can stream any piece of music to the student to hear and analyze. If the student’s music needs to be viewed, we can both see it on the screen, and I can mark up the music with an electronic pencil. I can also play the piece and offer instruction while seated at my Steinway grand piano.

My Role As Your Piano Teacher

Face to face or online, my goal as your piano teacher has always been the same — to give you everything you need to reach the goals you set for yourself on the piano. The ways I teach the piano, often called piano teaching methods, have been honed over my forty-plus year teaching career. With me as your piano teacher, you will learn not only classical piano literature, but any kind of music that speaks to you at the piano. This approach keeps you motivated and helps build a repertoire of piano music that you can enjoy for a lifetime.

After each online piano lesson, you will receive a post-lesson summary with practice recommendations to help you get ready for your next lesson. I often record and send sections that give you difficulty so that you can hear the way the passage should sound as you practice. And, of course, I am always available for questions when you are having trouble with practice.

If you choose me as your teacher, you will find that I am very patient and great deal of fun to work with. After all, music should be fun! My students tell me that I teach with a passion for the piano that helps them reach their challenging milestones.
