I am an older student and I started to learn to play the piano more than a year ago under a different teacher. I started with Eugene about 4 months ago. I was struggling with the piano previously. But after just 2 lessons with Eugene, I found myself playing confidently. Eugene explains so clearly and everything makes sense to me now. I enjoy practicing everyday now. He is excellent teacher, patient, and very professional. He is always on time.

Over the past 12 years, we've given over 3,000,000 lessons to happy customers around the world.
Mike bares all the marks of a GREAT teacher. He knew what I wanted before I even realized that's where I truly was heading. Not only have I gained what I am seeking, but he has brought me further than I even dreamed for myself. There's no better feeling than playing the way you've dreamed. On top of being a great teacher, he not only is a kind soul, funny, and a good listener but he truly cares about your growth and what you want to learn. He is hands down an amazing teacher."
I am a beginner, with usual stage fright and hesitation and did not feel uncomfortable at all."
Online Music Theory Lessons
Music Theory Class Online
Music theory is the study of music concepts, which explores principles, methods, and processes. This subject analyzes how musicians approach creating music, taking into account a variety of aspects, from music notation to tuning systems. It focuses on a wide range of music fundamentals, including pitch, scales, dynamics, texture, among others.
While anyone can pick up and learn how to play an instrument, studying music theory can help a musician further explore the music world and develop a greater understanding and appreciation for their instrument. Because there are so many pieces to learning music theory, sometimes it’s best to turn to the experts for guidance. Here at TakeLessons, we feature certified instructors who specialize in teaching
music theory. When you sign up for our music theory online lessons, you will receive the tools you need to master all things music.

With a private instructor teacher working with you one on one, you can learn at a speed that works best for you. You can also ask all the questions you have and focus on whatever most interests you.

What Does it Mean to Change a Key? To change a song’s “key” means to shift the whole musical system to a higher or lower position. This process is called “transposition.” Performers often need transpose a song to better fit their voices. That way, a performer with a naturally lower singing voice (like myself) will be able to more comfortably sing a song that was originally written for someone with a naturally higher voice. Or vice versa. For singers, transposition feels fairly …

I’m here to convince you that learning a little about how music works is one of the most important skills you can develop and should absolutely be part of your daily practice routine. Here are five reasons w …
