Welcome — I’m Dr. Lory Peters
I’m delighted you’re here to learn more about online piano lessons. For more than fifty years, I have been helping piano students discover the joy of making music. Today, I teach online piano lessons using studio‑quality audio, multiple cameras, and professional streaming technology — all designed to help you learn faster, more confidently, and from anywhere in the world.
Whether you’re a beginner, an adult returning to the piano, or a dedicated student preparing advanced repertoire, my online studio gives you everything you need to grow, succeed, and enjoy the piano.
Why Online Piano Lessons Work So Well
My online teaching practice is built on decades of experience in traditional piano pedagogy — combined with the best technology available today. Students who live far from a piano teacher, prefer learning at home, or simply want a more flexible schedule can now study with me from their own piano, wherever they live.
During the COVID‑19 pandemic, when in‑person lessons became difficult, I transformed my physical studio into a fully equipped virtual piano studio. With two pianos, five high‑definition cameras, and studio‑quality sound, my students can see every angle of the keyboard, my hands, the pedals, and any supporting materials. Many students tell me they learn more quickly online than they ever did in person.
How Online Piano Lessons Work
Online lessons feel very much like studying with a local piano teacher — just with better visibility and more tools at our fingertips.
- We meet weekly for a one‑hour lesson at a regular time.
- You learn at your own piano, connected to me through a secure video link.
- Multiple cameras show you every detail of my technique and demonstrations.
- I can stream audio examples instantly, mark up your music digitally, and demonstrate passages on my Steinway grand piano.
- You’ll always know exactly what to practice and how to improve.
After each lesson, you’ll receive a post‑lesson summary with practice recommendations. When needed, I record short audio or video examples to help you hear exactly how a passage should sound. And of course, I’m always available for questions between lessons — I want you to feel supported every step of the way.
My Role as Your Piano Teacher
My teaching philosophy is simple:
I meet you where you are, and help you reach the goals that matter most to you.
I teach classical literature, contemporary styles, and any music that speaks to you personally. My students describe me as patient, encouraging, and — yes — a lot of fun. Music should be joyful, and I work hard to make sure your lessons feel inspiring, not intimidating.
Over the years, I’ve helped students achieve milestones they once thought were impossible. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a student’s confidence grow as their playing improves.
